t-BagC2 To Be Installed Beginning In 2008
NavAero's t-BagC2 computer and display hardware has been chosen
as the EFB flight deck hardware by Continental Airlines to equip
the carrier’s B757 and B767 fleets.
Continental made the choice for the navAero Class 2 EFB solution
for the superior operational functionalities and retrofit cost
savings they will realize through the deployment of t-BagC2
hardware technology.
"The EFB will help us run more efficiently," said Fred Abbott,
Continental’s vice president flight operations. "We chose to
partner with NavAero on this important strategic initiative because
they provide us with a product which has unlimited growth
potential. The navAero EFB allows us to meet one of our highest
priorities which is to provide the airport moving map application
to our pilots."
Dual installations of the navAero t-BagC2 hardware systems will
be installed on the B757 200/300 and B767 200/400 flight-decks.
Certification for these airframes is being executed by navAero. As
a Class II device, the navAero t-BagC2 system is suitable for use
during all phases of flight.
Deployments on Continental Airlines fleets will start during
calendar year 2008. EFB installations are scheduled to commence in
Q1 2008, and it is anticipated that these fleets will be fully
deployed and operational by early 2009.
"We are extremely excited to have industry icon, Continental
Airlines, as the newest member of our fast-growing list of airlines
who have seen navAero’s technology as the way-to-go for EFB
hardware," said Ken Crowhurst, navAero Executive Vice President.
"We are providing a robust yet cost-effective solution that meets
the most demanding environmental as well as ROI standards. And for
our customers, that means they are getting an affordable business
tool that can help them improve productivity and operating
efficiency through access to data on a platform they can depend
upon. Our customers choose the applications that makes sense for
their business mission – we are simply the technology enabler
that gives them the ability to have their needs fulfilled."
