Lufthansa Technik's 'Guideline' now available on Boeing aircraft

Lufthansa Technik is now offering Guideline ColourFit, the non-electric floor path marking system, also for Boeing aircraft. The product has been certified for the Boeing 777 and 747-8. For Airbus, Embraer and Bombardier aircraft the innovative system is already available. The elaborate certification process included the requirement to demonstrate that over 60 inexperienced subjects could successively find their nearest exit in the aircraft in the dark, relying on Guideline. This expensive and time-consuming test was overseen by the FAA and EASA and took over ten hours to perform. Boeing has already installed Guideline in 777s for several airlines, while 747-8 launch customer Lufthansa has also ordered Guideline for its new aircraft.
