The company will perform the very first installation of the CTT CairTMSystem on an A318 at its Bordeaux site. “Sabena technics is very pleased to be working again with CTT. We had a very strong collaboration on a previous project which was a driving factor for choosing them again. We look forward to working together on this new exciting project”, says Francesco Aucelli, VIP and Cabin Modifications Head of Procurement at Sabena technics.

“It’s a great pleasure for us to announce this order as it’s the second with Sabena technics completion centre. We are especially excited as it is the first order ever for the A318 aircraft type,” says Peter Landquist, Vice President Sales & Marketing of CTT Systems.

“Cair£ is focused on the passengers’ health and comfort by providing humidification of the extremely dry aircraft cabins without causing condensation. Cair£ gives a pleasant relative humidity of around 20%, compared to 3-5% without, for the passengers, thereby reducing dry air related problems, such as fatigue, jet-lag, red eyes, dry skin, spread of virus diseases.”

The Cair£ system is based on evaporative cooling technology and uses a method that effectively precludes the transfer of bacteria within the aircraft. The dual-purpose system increases humidity for greater comfort and incorporates the Zonal Drying£ System to counter condensation problems.
