Jazeera Airways Selects SITA for Aircraft Communications

Kuwait-based Jazeera Airways will use SITA's VHF AIRCOM communications service.

SITA AIRCOM supports voice and data communications for flight operations, aircraft maintenance and engineering, air traffic control, and cabin administration, as well as passenger telephony and data services including SMS (short messaging service) and email.  In addition, cockpit telephone systems can be programmed to give pilots voice access to information and in-flight assistance.  Pilots can also use the satellite telephone service to make flight-related requests with oceanic air traffic controllers.

Among other things, Jazeera intends to use AIRCOM datalink for real-time engine and aircraft performance monitoring.  SITA says Jazeera also was attracted to AIRCOM because of its compatibility with the Airbus AIRMAN Maintenance program which Jazeera Airways implemented for its A320 fleet.  04-05-2007.
