EVA Air has selected Panasonic Avionics Corporation’s Arc 3D in-flight map platform for its long-haul fleet, becoming the first Taiwanese carrier to introduce the system. According to the companies, Arc will be installed on EVA Air’s Boeing 787 and 777-300ER aircraft, as well as its upcoming Airbus A350-1000s, integrating with the airline’s existing in-flight entertainment.
The Arc platform replaces traditional moving maps with a high-resolution 3D interface and expanded interactivity. Passengers can access real-time flight data such as position, altitude, and estimated time of arrival while choosing from more than 15 viewing angles, including window, overhead, follow-along, chasing, and cockpit-style perspectives. The system also incorporates satellite imagery to provide more immersive visualizations of the route.
EVA Air’s public information describes an Arc for Young Explorers mode aimed at younger passengers and family travelers, offering a tailored map experience within the same platform. The airline notes that moving map capabilities may vary by aircraft type, with both 2D autoplay and interactive 3D options in use across the fleet as the Arc rollout progresses.
