Aegean Airlines has added Rockwell Collins’ ARINC GLOBALink air-to-ground data link communications to provide fleet connectivity.
GLOBALink is enabling the airline to improve departure control and turnaround, send and receive real-time aircraft and engine data to improve maintenance operations and upload gate connection information to aircraft inflight entertainment displays to enhance the passenger experience.
“Adding data link capability to our fleet will further enhance the effectiveness of our operation and help to improve service to our customers,” said Nikos Panagiotopoulos, operations manager, at Aegean.
“Aegean Airlines has been highly successful even in the face of very challenging global economic conditions,” said Alexis Hickox, head of global sales, Commercial Aviation for Rockwell Collins.
