Governments, airports, airlines, pilots, crews and passengers rely on Thales to make flights safer, easier and more efficient. We do this by designing, delivering and supporting the systems that keep our skies running. From air traffic management, avionics suites, training and simulation solutions, nose-to-tail aircraft connectivity and in-flight services, we enable and connect all parts of the aerospace ecosystem in the air, on the ground, and in between.
Since 2012, Thales has also been present on the Polish aviation market, when LOT Polish Airlines decided to expand their fleet by purchasing a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner. Boeing Dreamliners are equipped with In-flight Entertainment systems (IFE) produced by Thales.
A special Thales line maintenance station, Warsaw OBS Station, has been established at Okęcie in order to perform any necessary on-going repairs and maintenance of the IFE system. Thanks to technicians from Okęcie passengers flying every day from Warsaw to cities such as New York, Chicago, Toronto, Tokyo, Seoul, Beijing, and many others, can enjoy the latest movies, music, games, and news during their flights. Each passenger is able to check his or her flight status on an on-going basis and receive all instructions concerning flight safety.
Warsaw OBS Station is the only Thales station in the world to provide maintenance of business class seats.
