PRESS RELEASE
DAC GEN-X EFB STC GRANTED TO ABX AIR FOR B767 AIRCRAFT
AUSTIN, TX (May 6, 2008) - ABX Air, a leading cargo airline based in
Wilmington, Ohio, has been granted a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC)
to allow the installation of the DAC International GEN-X Electronic Flight
Bag (EFB) on B767 aircraft.
The STC paves the way for B767 operators to efficiently install the GEN-X EFB as a Class 2 device on their aircraft.
GEN-X answers the airlines' need for an affordable avionics-grade EFB that meets both Class 2 and Class 3 requirements. Until GEN-X, operators had to choose between expensive Class 3 EFB’s or less capable Class 2 EFB’s. GEN-X bridges the gap by offering an affordable Class 3 EFB solution that can be installed as either Class 2 or Class 3.
Michael Crouch, DAC International President, noted, “We are pleased that ABX Air, an industry leader in innovation, has selected the GEN-X Class 2/3 EFB for its B767 fleet. We look forward to working with ABX Air as it continues to add functionality to the GEN-X platform to further streamline operations and enhance efficiencies."
