After an extensive, wide-ranging assessment, Lufthansa Technik has selected the latest generation AID from UTC Aerospace Systems to enable a broad variety of cost-saving solutions for its customers.
Lufthansa Technik launched a review of AID solutions from leading suppliers. The study evaluated AID products from suppliers across various criteria, including cost, range of input/output, processing power, storage space and upgradeability.
Following the industry-wide evaluation, the UTC Aerospace Systems AID was chosen as the ideal platform due to its data processing performance, superior network security features, capacity to host embedded applications and consistency. Lufthansa Technik received EASA certification for the AID system on the Airbus A320 family. Lufthansa German Airlines has ordered the AID for their fleet of A320 series aircraft. AID development and production work is being performed by UTC Aerospace Systems’ Sensors and Integrated Systems business in Burnsville, Minnesota.
“For Lufthansa Technik’s customers, the latest AID will provide enhanced functionality, improved safety, stronger cybersecurity and greater in-flight data connectivity, while simultaneously reducing costs,” said Mark Skarohlid, vice president of Business Development for UTC Aerospace Systems. “At UTC Aerospace Systems, we’re committed to providing our customers with the cutting-edge technology they need to improve performance and drive down cost, and we look forward to continuing to partner with Lufthansa moving forward.”
