Avianca Selects Meridian Audio To Upgrade Business Class In-Flight Audio

Avianca has selected British audio specialist Meridian Audio to enhance the in-flight experience for passengers travelling in its Business Class cabins, with the airline introducing a custom-engineered Meridian headset.

The partnership brings Meridian's premium audio technology to Avianca's Business Class passengers, promising improved sound clarity and comfort throughout the flight.

Designed specifically for the demands of the aircraft cabin, the headset incorporates Meridian's audio engineering expertise with features aimed at making extended listening more comfortable.

The deal also expands Meridian's footprint in Latin America, adding Avianca to the company’s growing list of airline customers. Its aviation portfolio includes United Airlines, AirX, British Airways, GOL, ANA and Air Astana.

The Meridian headset developed for Avianca features a custom speaker unit engineered for the conditions of air travel. Meridian says it delivers clear and balanced sound while remaining comfortable during extended periods of use.

The headset also incorporates active noise cancellation designed to reduce the persistent background noise of an aircraft cabin, allowing passengers to hear in-flight entertainment more clearly.

Meridian has additionally tuned the headset to improve clarity across frequencies commonly associated with speech. The company says this makes dialogue in films and podcasts easier to understand while helping reduce listening strain on longer flights.

For Avianca, the introduction adds another premium element to its Business Class offering, while for Meridian, the partnership represents a further expansion of its presence in commercial aviation and the Latin American market.
