21 November 2019: Satair has collaborated with International Water-Guard Industries (IWG) to reduce CO2 emissions across the globe on both Airbus and Boeing platforms.
The agreement will cover the innovative Intelligent Water Quantity Pre-Select System, which allows airlines to accurately control the amount of water loaded on an aircraft to make sure the flight only carries the water it has historically consumed, based on the data collected by the system. City pair data, seasonality, and the time of day all play an important role in the amount of water consumed on commercial aircraft. Globally initiatives are being taken to reduce CO2 emissions that will have an effect on aircraft efficiency by reducing the induced drag required to carry the excess weight.
Bart Reijnen, Chief Executive Officer Satair said, "We are pleased to engage in this agreement with IWG who have developed an innovative technology that contributes to reducing carbon footprint in our industry."
Satair has also signed an additional agreement for the Lavatory Hot Water Heater on the A320/321 for aftermarket support. This new technology gives better performance and weight reduction benefits along with increased reliability for Airbus operators.
Steven Bis, President, International Water-Guard Industries said, "Satair has a unique global presence and we look forward to bringing our products to the market through this extensive network."
