Air France Industries upgrades four A330s with Rockwell Collins’ PAVES Passenger Services System

Air France Industries will upgrade four Airbus A330 aircraft for one of its customers with Rockwell Collins’ PAVES Passenger Services System (PSS). The standalone, cost-effective reading light and cabin crew call system with USB charging port brings several benefits, including a significant reduction in aircraft weight. Depending on the system it replaces, PAVES PSS can bring weight savings that exceed 1,000 pounds, producing millions of dollars saved annually from a significant reduction in fuel cost. Rockwell Collins teamed with Air France Industries on this cabin solution. Air France Industries designed the installation and continues to develop innovative solutions generated by Rockwell Collins’ new products. Deliveries of PAVES PSS to Air France Industries will begin in January.
