Global market leader in IFE and cabin technology solutions for commercial airlines selected to provide state-of-the-art in-seat power technology. This is in addition to 3 other recent awards for Burrana’s In-Seat Power solution on four 737NGs in Europe, four 737Max in the Americas, and 4 A321s in Asia.
Irvine CA, 25 October 2022. Burrana announced today that it has signed an agreement with Akkodis to provide its RISE Power system for installation on 2 Airbus A330 aircraft for PlusUltra Airlines in Spain. This award is part of PlusUltra’s recently announced fleet and cabin upgrade initiative to maximize its passenger experience.
The system configuration selected by PlusUltra will provide two dual USB-A jacks per triple seat group (a total of 4 USB-A jacks per triple seat), and 1 dual USB-A jack per double seat group (a total of 2 USB-A jacks per double seat). This will allow passengers to power and charge their smartphones, tablets, and other Portable Electronic Devices (PEDs) to ensure they have access to all in-flight Wi-Fi services for the duration of their flight.
“Our goal is to ensure that we provide our customers’ passengers with the best in-seat power system and guarantee high-quality aircraft engineering support through our approved Part 21J&G Design team within our Aircraft Support and Operation business,” said Mojca Svensek, Sales Director for Aircraft Support & Operations, at Akkodis. “Burrana is a clear choice, with their ultralightweight solution providing USB-A power ports on every seat in the aircraft, in a space-saving system architecture that does not compromise legroom or aircraft weight.”
Burrana and Akkodis will begin delivering in the fourth quarter of 2022 for retrofit installations on PlusUltra Airlines’ existing A330 fleet which will begin in early 2023. Critical to PlusUltra’s selection of Burrana was their ability to offer an easy installation with the lightest weight system in the industry, with no impact on the existing seat certification of the A330 Geven Piuma seats.
“Akkodis and Burrana both share a customer-first approach which includes a desire to innovate and the ability to fast-track products and services that improve the flying experience,” said David Pook, Vice President of Marketing and Sales Support at Burrana. “We’re excited that our game-changing in-seat power system has been adopted by PlusUltra Airlines to bring their passengers the lightest and fastest charging in-seat power architecture in the market today.”
