17 July, 2018: UTC Aerospace Systems has been selected by Hawaiian Airlines to extend deployment of its Aircraft Data Management (ADM) platform, InteliSight to the airline’s latest fleet of 18 Airbus A321NEO aircraft. InteliSight integrates hardware and software applications to enable real-time decision making for operators to optimise aircraft performance, helping to reduce fuel burn and flight time, thereby saving costs. This implementation continues Hawaiian’s effort to become the most intelligent airline, as it has already equipped its fleet of Boeing 717, 767 and Airbus A330 aircraft with the UTC Aerospace Systems aircraft interface device (AID).
By delivering real-time actionable data on evolving weather conditions, flight crews can develop smarter – more intelligent – flight plans that avoid inclement weather which facilitates a comfortable flight experience for passengers, and keeps flights on schedule which saves the airline money through fuel costs. Furthermore, the A321NEO fleet will now be equipped with connectivity for the WiFi MedLink handset. Using the Cobham AVIATOR 300D satellite communications system in conjunction with the UTC Aerospace Systems AID, the airline will be able to securely transmit critical medical communications to and from the aircraft in the event of an inflight emergency.
