SR Technics signs cabin modification contract with Aeroflot

September 24, 2013 – Zurich, Switzerland – SR Technics, part of the Mubadala Aerospace MRO network, has signed a contract with Aeroflot to install the Airbus ALNA V2 (AirLine Network Architecture) on three of the airline’s Airbus A330-200 aircraft. The In-flight Entertainment and Connectivity (IFEC) system installation will be carried out alongside scheduled C-Checks, thus optimizing aircraft down time and maximizing Aeroflot’s utilization of the aircraft.

Under the agreement the work will be completed in the fall of 2013, with all modification and maintenance activities being completed out of SR Technics’ headquarters in Zurich.

The ALNA V2 system is the first line fit connectivity solution to be developed by an aircraft manufacturer. The platform allows passengers to use their own wireless communication devices such as mobile or smart phones and laptops on board, in the same way they would use them on the ground.

“We are delighted to be partnering with Aeroflot as they extend this innovative technology across their Airbus A330 fleet. IFEC modifications is an area that is strategically important to us, the ongoing innovation requires us to keep a constant finger on the pulse to stay abreast of developments to ensure that we can leverage our cabin modification expertise, know-how and high quality standards to further support our customers as the systems evolve,” comments André Wall, President at SR Technics.
