STG Aerospace has been selected as the supplier for the photoluminescent emergency floor path marking system across Alaska Airlines' Boeing and Airbus fleets, as the airline begins to streamline the cabins of its Virgin America fleet.
Alaska Airlines will install STG Aerospace's next-generation saf-Tglo® SSUL photoluminescent emergency escape path marking system (EEPMS) on 116 aircraft across its retrofitted and new Boeing 737-700, MAX9 and Airbus A320 Family fleets.
Alaska Airlines will also replace the electrical emergency lighting system in the Airbus fleet, a change expected to realise significant operational cost savings due to the high reliability and fail-safe nature of saf-Tglo®. The retrofit programme is due to commence in late 2018.
