Dreieich, 21st July 2021. Hahn Air announces the addition of 15 new partners in the first half of 2021. The airlines trust the leading ticketing and distribution specialist to expand their indirect sales to secondary markets and increase their ticket sales with up to 100,000 travel agencies in more than 190 markets. They also benefit from being part of the largest network of interline partners in the world.

“While the current situation undoubtedly presented many challenges to the airlines of the world, it is also a unique opportunity to reevaluate and reset their distribution strategy,” says Alexander Proschka, Executive Vice President Commercial at Hahn Air. “The next months and the upcoming year will be crucial and those players who position themselves prominently will be the winners of the recovery phase. We support airlines with solutions to enter or expand their indirect distribution with the major GDSs and optimise their global ticket sales.”

Of the new partnerships, eight are new interline agreements. The flights of Starlux Airlines (JX) from Taiwan, Nordica (ND) from Estonia, Calm Air (MO) and PAL Airlines (PB) from Canada, Uganda National Airlines (UR), Viva Peru (VV) and Viva Colombia (VH) can now be issued on the insolvency-safe HR-169 ticket. In addition, Hahn Air added the Dutch mobility platform Vipper (VG) to its network. Travel agents can find and book all new partners under their own two-letter-codes in selected GDSs and even in markets where the carriers are not members of the local settlement systems (BSPs).

In addition, three carriers chose the product X1-Air of Hahn Air Technologies and are therefore available under the X1 code in major GDSs: Flyadeal (F3) from Saudi Arabia, LIFT (GE) from South Africa and Sky High Aviation (DO) from the Dominican Republic.

Finally, Hahn Air welcomes four dual partners who are using more than one Hahn Air solution. Existing partner, Precision Air (PW) from Tanzania, newly complemented their distribution strategy with the H1-Air solution and is now also available under the Hahn Air Systems designator H1 in all major GDSs. Linea Aérea Amaszonas (Z8) from Bolivia and Air Seychelles (HM) are newly combining their existing interline agreements with the product X1-Air.

Enter Perigon. With its unique combination of power and flexibility, Perigon stands ready to help customers meet the future flight computing requirements of tomorrow.”

Developing Perigon

At the 2018 Farnborough International Air Show, Collins announced the development of a next-gen vehicle management computer designed to support autonomous flight. Since then, Collins has built a working prototype and is currently performing detailed development and integration testing, with an eye toward qualification testing in 2022. The company has also branded the computer as Perigon, a mathematical term for a 360-degree angle. Collins chose the name to represent the many capabilities Perigon can offer customers, the holistic view of systems and inputs it provides, and its enhanced flexibility.

Advanced computing power, open-system architecture

Perigon will have the ability to provide 20 times the processing power of Collins’ existing flight control computers, thousands of which are currently in service on a multitude of platforms worldwide. Combined with its open-system design, Perigon’s high computing power will allow customers to load it with a variety of complex software applications, including autonomous and fly-by-wire flight control, cybersecurity, vehicle management and predictive health maintenance. In addition, capabilities that previously required multiple computers across a platform may now be able to be performed by Perigon alone, thanks to its enhanced processing power. This, in turn, could enable customers to reduce the number of computers onboard and enjoy space, weight and cost savings as a result.

Flexible configurability for a range of applications

Depending on the customer’s needs, Perigon can be configured as simplex, duplex or triplex redundant. It will be FAA certifiable to facilitate aircraft level certification, available for commercial or military rotary and fixed wing platforms.

“From air transport, to sixth-gen fighters, to the U.S. Army’s Future Vertical Lift program, to aerial firefighting and beyond, we see broad opportunities for Perigon across the aerospace and defense industry,” said Kinsley.

Perigon is supported by the LYNX MOSA.ic for Avionics product and AdaCore’s QGen TQL-1 qualifiable autocode generator for Simulink^®/Stateflow^® models.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., July 14, 2020 – Pratt & Whitney, a division of Raytheon Technologies Corp. (NYSE: RTX) has completed the transformation of its West Palm Beach Engine Center into a fully-capable GTF MRO shop. This investment in West Palm Beach is just the latest example showcasing the continued growth of Pratt & Whitney’s global GTF MRO network to offer more capacity, more capability, and to be closer to its customers.

“This is more than just a shop; this is an investment in the future of our company to be even more customer-focused and customer-driven,” said Mary Anne Cannon, vice president, West Palm Beach Site Development and Operations, Pratt & Whitney. “All of the equipment and systems were designed with adaptability in mind. We took what we learned when we were an OEM shop and made refinements to ensure cost savings, efficiency, reduced turn times as well as capability and EH&S improvements along the way.”

The engine center is the first Pratt & Whitney MRO facility to adopt an automated system that assembles the high pressure compressor rotor assembly with minimal variation and higher yield, resulting in streamlined turn times and improved reliability of outputs. The facility also features a refined overhead engine handling system, resulting in more efficient, cost-effective processes with improvements to safety and ergonomics.

“It is critical that we arm our employees with the latest technologies and processes so that at the end of the day we most effectively uphold our commitments to our customers,” said Rob Griffiths, vice president, MRO Engine Centers – North American & Turkey, Global Operational Readiness, Pratt & Whitney.

The transformation of the engine center would not have been possible without the hard work, determination and commitment of Pratt & Whitney’s West Palm Beach employees. Three and a half years ago, the opportunity presented itself to turn existing OEM GTF business space into a small MRO shop for the purpose of rapidly growing MRO capacity. While operating out of this temporary space, an additional 100,000 square feet was made available, which the team quickly began transforming into a high capacity, full capability MRO shop.

“Watching the ribbon cutting ceremony for our now fully-capable GTF MRO engine center was a remarkable moment,” said Anthony Brodeur, general manager, West Palm Beach MRO, Pratt & Whitney. “It marked the culmination of this unique journey we’d taken, from building infrastructure while operating out of a temporary location, to overcoming challenges brought on by the pandemic, to now having a shop in front of us that we collectively created. We are no longer a temporary relief shop. We are proud to be a full, heavy maintenance capable MRO facility that’s in a great position to better serve our customers for years to come.”

East Hartford Headquarters is the initial site for hybrid work environment

EAST HARTFORD, Conn., July 14, 2021 – Pratt & Whitney today announced plans to make technology and design upgrades to its East Hartford campus in order to improve flexibility for local employees. These improvements will allow office employees greater opportunity to work remotely, while also providing collaboration space so they can return to the office as requirements demand.

The company is responding to employee requests for flexibility in how and where work is performed, and Pratt & Whitney has committed to allowing the majority of office employees to perform their work remotely at least part of the time. This hybrid model will give many employees the ability to work from home in the local area when desired, but with the ability to return to a physical Pratt & Whitney facility when needed.  When on site, employees will have access to collaboration spaces, meeting rooms and the flexibility to work from any open workspace, without being limited to an assigned building. Manufacturing employees and others with a critical need to be in an office will continue to work from the campus.

“Like every organization, we had to rapidly adjust to a new normal,” said Chris Calio, President of Pratt & Whitney. “For our office-based employees, the transition to remote work in March 2020 was disruptive. But it caused us to redesign how we get work done, allowing our employees the greatest flexibility while preserving collaboration – and we’re now carrying those benefits into the future.”

Pratt & Whitney is continuing to roll out new digital technologies and physical office space designs to ensure employees are able to work, access data and collaborate, whether they’re at home or in the office. The company has selected design firm ASD | SKY to assist in designing a physical space that emphasizes collaboration, from small huddle rooms that can accommodate four to six people, to team rooms that can host up to 20. Meetings held onsite will also be hosted on a virtual, video-enabled platform to ensure full participation from all employees, no matter where they are located.

“We are creating a world-class work experience for everyone now and in the years to come,” said Jill Albertelli, Pratt & Whitney’s senior vice president for Transformation & Strategy. “Our employees are not only designing the future of aviation but also the future of how we work. It looks different, because it is different and it is a significant culture shift for the company. However, with this change comes a unique opportunity to redefine where work gets done, how we collaborate with colleagues and provide flexibility for our employees.”
