SPACEFLEX V2

SPACEFLEX V2, A NEW GALLEY AND LAVATORY SYSTEM

Developed in conjunction with Airbus and designed for the A320 family, the SpaceFlex v2 system consists of a galley and two lavatories and offers the possibility of adding up to two extra rows of cabin seating. Other benefits include increased galley capacity for loading meal trays for service on outbound and return flights, and a lavatory for persons with reduced mobility. SpaceFlexv2 is based on feedback from Airbus's SpaceFlex V 1 and on Zodiac Aerospace's Innovative Space Interior System. Its entry into service is planned for 2016.

FLIGHT-HOUR MAINTENANCE CONTRACT WITH SINGAPORE AIRLINES

In February 2014, Zodiac Aerospace Services was awarded the contract to maintain all the chillers of Singapore Airlines’ 29 Boeing B777 aircraft. Service is invoiced based on the number of flight hours per aircraft per month and includes the provision of spare parts during aircraft maintenance as well as repairs.

The COMAC Silver Performance Excellence award was presented to Zodiac Aerospace when the Chinese manufacturer invited its suppliers to Shanghai in March 2014. COMAC's C919 is fitted with multiple elements manufactured by the Group, including galleys, lavatory units, PSUs², water and waste management systems, cockpit doors, evacuation slides, and pilot and crew seats.

A UNIQUE TEST BENCH IN EUROPE

With its mobile 8 × 4-meter platform, tiltable up to 20° on two axes, the helicopter fuel system test bench went into operation at the end of 2013 in Caudebec-les-Elbeuf in France and can simulate the functioning of high-volume flexible tanks. Because it handles large volumes of pressurized fuel, the test bench is housed in a facility built to meet stringent standards in terms of protecting people, properly and the environment.
