Continued global growth in air travel and airline fleet renewals boost both OEM sales and retrofit opportunities for cabin power, inflight connectivity, and entertainment products, strengthening recurring revenue streams and fostering pricing power, as reflected by ongoing successful price increases across major OEM and airline customers._ Read the complete narrative.
