A 12-month connectivity installation programme has begun at STS Mod Center’s Melbourne, Florida facility.
The major year-long project sees the installation of Thales Wi-Fi systems on more than 100 commercial aircraft, both Airbus and Boeing. The first aircraft, an A321, has already arrived with installation work underway.
According to STS Mod Center, it takes its team about three days to complete the nose-to-tail installation of a Thales Wi-Fi system on narrowbody aircraft and about four-to-six days when working on widebody aircraft.
“Between three and six days is our target turnaround time for every aircraft Wi-Fi installation package that we do,” said Chris Smeets, Senior Vice President & General Manager of STS Mod Center. “And in my experience, we’ve almost never missed that target thanks to the incredibly efficient work-flow system and quality audit processes we have in place at our Melbourne facility.”
