FARNBOROUGH INTERNATIONAL AIR SHOW, LONDON, July 16,
2018 /PRNewswire/ -- UTC Aerospace Systems, a unit of
United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX), has been selected by
Hawaiian Airlines to extend deployment of its Aircraft Data
Management (ADM) platform, InteliSight™ to the
airline's new fleet of 18 Airbus A321NEO aircraft. InteliSight
integrates hardware and software applications to enable real-time
decision making for operators to optimize 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.
Additionally, 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.
"We are thrilled that Hawaiian has extended their deployment of
this intelligent aircraft system, as it was designed with the
airline in mind - highly capable, reliable, lightweight and
flexible," says Mark Skarohlid, Vice
President of Business Development for UTC Aerospace Systems. "We
are committed to continually produce and advance technological
capabilities and applications to enable a more intelligent
aircraft."
The implementation at Hawaiian Airlines, a known industry-leader
in technology adoption, uses low-risk, advanced solutions to evolve
its services and operations. As a proven stable and secured
platform, InteliSight is emerging as the preferred choice for
operators around the world to rapidly upgrade their fleets with
intelligence and real-time connectivity.
"We continually strive to be one of the most progressive U.S.
commercial airlines to deliver an exceptional experience to our
passengers," says Ken Rewick, vice
president of flight operations for Hawaiian Airlines. "The
InteliSight platform has demonstrated real benefits for our flight
operations and we look forward to expanding these capabilities to
our growing fleet of A321NEO aircraft."
