ST. LOUIS – Jet Aviation St. Louis has completed 22 cabin-management upgrades with the Rockwell Collins Venue system in Globals and Challengers.
"We developed this installation with Rockwell Collins and installed the first Venue system upgrade in a Global XRS to replace the Cabin Electronics System (CES) in 2014," said Blake Hogge, senior manager, Avionics Sales at Jet Aviation St. Louis. "Since then, we’ve installed 22 Venue upgrades in Globals and Challengers and have three more under contract. This level of experience with the Venue system upgrade in just 15 months gives us the expertise and the know-how to do it right and complete it faster.
"St. Louis has recently signed a CES Global 5000 for a Venue upgrade, adding it to the Global XRS and Express and the Challenger 601, 604 and 605 as airframes with Venue installations at St. Louis.
“Jet Aviation St. Louis is already working with Rockwell Collins on development of the next-generation Venue system,” Hogge said. “We’re the one-stop-shop for cabin-management upgrades.”
Venue is the first complete, high-definition cabin-management system that upgrades and replaces the CES with the features and functionality of the most advanced home entertainment systems and executive suites.
