Thales will equip its avionics package on all 234 new Airbus A320 fleet purchased by Lion Air.
The avionics suite fitted on the new planes will include the Thales TopFlight Management System1, which, with over 60% market share, is the number one choice for Airbus single-aisle aircraft.
The avionics suite equipped on the new A320 fleet will include the ACSS (L-3 & Thales company) T3CAS® surveillance platform2. Following Airbus’s decision to make this a standard surveillance avionics suite for its A320 family, there has been significant interest in this system, particularly in Asia.
The package will also include the ELT Integra3, Emergency Locator Transmitter.
These high-reliability navigation management systems provide a simplified working environment for Lion Air pilots, especially in the heavy congested South Asian airspace.
“Our position as partner of choice for avionics equipment in Asia has been considerably strengthened this year. After the success with China Eastern, the renewed confidence placed in us by Lion Air in this very ambitious fleet renewal, demonstrates how Thales is fast becoming a leading player in this region” said Daniel Malka, Thales Vice President and General Manager of Avionics Services Worldwide.
