IFPL has been awarded a 2021 Queen’s Awards for Enterprise for Innovation.
The company previously received the award in 2008 and 2014.
IFPL has been honoured in the ‘Innovation’ category for their design of a contactless payment and personalisation device for use in commercial passenger aircraft. The device can be installed as an addition to seatback in-flight entertainment systems, and solves the problems of its predecessors’ poor reliability, expensive production costs, and vulnerability to fraud.
IFPL founder and CEO Geoff Underwood commented: “The aviation sector has been through a tough period recently, so being recognised as a company that is consistently working hard to create innovative products that will help operators to recover post-pandemic is a real boost. I’m so proud of the whole IFPL family for this fantastic achievement.”
