MEBAA: A breath of fresh air from CTT

An aircraft cabin is excessively dry and the more premium the cabin, the drier it is, so business jet passengers could be greatly at risk.

Fewer people, means less humidity. On a long-haul flight both passengers and crew can suffer from dry air induced fatigue, rapid degeneration of the immune system, dry eyes and an impaired sense of taste.

However, customers opting for the Airbus Corporate Jet ACJ TwoTwenty will be able to fly in comfort, thanks to a partnership agreement with Swedish company CTT.

ACJ is offering humidification as part of its cabin catalogue for the TwoTwenty, with the CTT system to be delivered as a bolt-on-kit with a supplemental type certificate, as well as fitted into green aircraft.

CTT’s humidifier onboard generates the increased level of humidity required to bring the cabin to a comfortable, ground-like level, allowing pilots, crew and passengers to arrive feeling refreshed and healthy, while lowering the risk of contracting infectious diseases.

The joint ambition is to achieve a minimum weight solution while ensuring the highest levels of performance, including optimised humidity in the entire cabin with efficient anti-condensation protection. The humidification system is designed to equally distribute humidified air in the extra-large business jet cabin.

“We are delighted that ACJ includes humidification as part of the comfort climate in the TwoTwenty aircraft,” said Peter Landquist, CTT’s VP sales, marketing and customer support.

“ACJ is first in the large-cabin business jet segment to offer significantly elevated cabin air humidity with total moisture protection that eliminates all fuselage condensation issues.”
