Air Canada renews radio support agreement with Rockwell Collins

Rockwell Collins announced today that Air Canada has signed a three-year contract to renew the company’s ARINC Managed Services (AMS) radio support services agreement for the airline’s ground handling operation in Canada. Through its AMS offering, Rockwell Collins provides 24×7 on-site technical support for the UHF ground-to-ground communication system and radio equipment used to manage the airline’s ground handling operations. It also maintains a depot maintenance facility that provides centralized inventory, spares and parts management, significantly improving equipment repair and response time. “As Canada’s largest domestic and international airline, our ground-to-ground communications are a critical part of ensuring our flights depart on time and safely,” said Derwin Cady, manager, Airport Technology and Product Development for Air Canada. “Air Canada has consolidated our radio support with Rockwell Collins’ ARINC Managed Services, which saves us time and money by having a single, knowledgeable point of contact for all of our maintenance needs.”
