BFGoodrich Helps Keep Airbus Aircraft Safe and Passengers Warm
BFGoodrich has signed an agreement to provide Lan Chile, Grupo TACA and
TAM, with wheels and brakes to equip their new fleets of 88 Airbus A319
and A320 aircraft. Lan Chile has 20 firm and 40 optional orders and will
receive their first four A320s in fourth quarter 2000. Grupo TACA has 30
firm and 30 optional orders and receives its first delivery in fourth quarter
2000. TAM will receive its first A319s in March 1999 with a total of 10
aircraft to be in service by end of 1999. Elsewhere BFGoodrich will supply
new floor panel heaters as standard equipment on Airbus A330/A340 aircraft.
The panels provide supplemental heat for aircraft entryways and ensure passenger
comfort on long flights. The floor panels are designed for the life of the
aircraft and are mounted to the structural floor where cold spots can occur. | ||||||
