FARNBOROUGH, England -- (Business Wire)
Rockwell Collins today announced it has reached a major milestone in
implementing a complete take-off-to-touchdown advanced information
management solution as Cathay Pacific begins operational evaluation of
the company’s eEnabled Aircraft Solution on three Boeing 777-300ER
aircraft.
“The solution we’re implementing for Cathay Pacific represents a broader
trend in our industry as airlines look to fully harness the capabilities
and applications that high-speed air-to-ground connectivity can
provide,” said Jeff Standerski, senior vice president, Information
Management Services for Rockwell Collins. “We commend Cathay Pacific for
pioneering this effort, as it becomes the first airline in Asia to begin
the implementation of an almost fleet-wide eEnabled solution, the most
advanced of its kind.”
Working in collaboration with Cathay Pacific, Rockwell Collins is
designing and supporting the implementation of a common aircraft network
across Cathay Pacific’s fleet of B777, B747-400F, B747-8, and Airbus
A330 aircraft as well as Dragonair’s A330 and A320/1 aircraft. The
network will serve as a full-time global air-to-ground data
communication and information management service, supporting both
current and future high-speed connectivity. Rockwell Collins, with
Cathay Pacific, has the only eEnabled fully integrated and
regulation-compliant aircraft solution flying today.
Rockwell Collins’ ARINC eEnabled Aircraft Solution allows for secure
information management of flight operations, data communication
services, cabin services, maintenance, diagnostics and vital safety
information throughout flight, enhancing operational efficiencies and
reducing costs. It improves accuracy of fueling requirements, provides
potential for increased payload, and allows for automatic upgrades of
installed and portable electronic flight bags.
“Rockwell Collins’ ARINC eEnabled Aircraft Solution enables us to create
a highly functional, seamless communications platform, allowing us to
improve the speed, accuracy, deployment and presentation of information
between the aircraft and ground infrastructure,” said Cathay Pacific’s
Mark Hoey, General Manager Operations. “The ability to connect airborne
systems to ground-based information technology systems in real time will
result in improved operational efficiency and increased maintenance
effectiveness, as well as provide a number of exciting service
enhancements.”
