New Zealand-based world leader in advanced audio technology solutions Phitek Systems Limited announced today that its SmartJack™ active noise cancellation product has being installed into the new Airbus A380.

The Airbus A380 made its first commercial flight on 25 October 2007 from to Sydney with Singapore Airlines, and passengers on the world’s biggest airliner will be enjoying crystal clear sounds thanks to Phitek’s world leading innovative audio technology. The ‘Superjumbo’ provides seating up to 853 people in full economy class configuration.

Phitek’s leading noise cancellation products are an important part of world’s leading commercial airlines in-flight entertainment offerings to passengers, and Phitek’s SmartJack™ is already used as standard in most of the world’s commercial aviation fleet. SmartJack™ is being supplied to the Airbus A380s through Panasonic Aviation Corporation, which supplies 90 percent of the world’s airlines with in-flight entertainment products.

Qantas, Air New Zealand, Emirates, , British Airways, Lufthansa and Singapore Airlines have all chosen to adopt Phitek’s products as part of their in-flight entertainment packages. 

Phitek CEO Mark Donaldson says “We’re thrilled to see the Airbus A380 operational using Phitek’s active noise reduction audio technology as part of its standard in-flight entertainment package. This is proof that Phitek’s strategy to support its successful SmartJack™ integrated noise cancellation system is now recognised by the global aviation industry.”
