French company Moment has been selected by Surinam Airways (SLM) to integrate the Flymingo Box solution aboard the airline’s fleet. This decision will give passengers access to an inflight entertainment platform.

Based in the city of Paramaribo, SLM operates as the country’s national carrier. It has flights to international destinations such as the Caribbean, Netherlands Antilles, United States, Guyana and Brazil.

Surinam Airways was looking to offer its passengers a unique service in terms of entertainment while optimising the travelling experience. They chose the French company Moment, after evaluating several solutions, to equip its fleet. 

Flymingo Box is a Wireless InFlight Entertainment solution based on a patented portable server. It can broadcast a catalog of 10,000 hours of content and which can offer IFE streaming to 100 passengers simultaneously.

Characterised by its power and ultra-compact size, it enables passengers to access a smooth streaming service from any device. All done without the need for an application.

Thanks to Moment app-free technology, passengers can enjoy Surinam Airways’ DRM-protected content directly from their personal device browser. Moment will also be responsible for the acquisition of content for Surinam Airways’ wireless inflight entertainment and Panasonic seat-back screens. 

As a result, passengers can access a catalog of premium content including recent movies, documentaries, cartoons, games and music playlists.

This partnership highlights the quality of our solutions and their ability to enrich the flying experience,” says Michael Serres, COO and co-founder of Moment. “Thanks to its innovative, simple and flexible solution, Moment will make a significant contribution to improving passenger service.”

CEO Radjesh Radjkoemar CEO states: “As an international airline, it was essential for us to differentiate our service by offering passengers an enjoyable entertainment solution that responds to their needs. Moment was the right partner since their solution Flymingo Box met all of our criteria in terms of reliability, installation, choice of content and price.”

Rachel Kolf-Deira, Surinam Airways CFO adds: “Moment technology is unique in its ability to reduce costs for our airline, deliver higher operational efficiency and increase customer satisfaction. We are delighted to start this partnership and bring a truly innovative and cost-effective solution on board.”
