CTT Systems AB, the market leader of aircraft humidity control systems, has announced an inflight humidification (IFH) VIP system order from Fokker Techniek B.V. in the Netherlands for one Airbus ACJ330 aircraft operated by its customer K5 Aviation in Germany. The system is scheduled to be delivered to Fokker in 2022/2023. This is CTT Systems' 102nd inflight humidification award for VIP aircraft from Airbus Corporate Jets and Boeing Business Jets.
Fokker will be first to install the IFH-VIP system to elevate humidity in all six cabin zones, requiring support from six humidifiers. The ACJ330 will be protected by CTT's unique anti-fuselage condensation technology that prevents moisture issues such as rain-in-the-plane.
''We look forward to working with CTT in our first widebody outfitting project,” says Maurice Burghouwt, account manager procurement of Fokker Techniek. “The CTT humidification system is an important cabin climate feature for our end-customers, valuing good health, wellbeing and feeling at ease during and after flight.”
“We are pleased to cooperate with Fokker in developing and the fitting of the IFH-VIP system in this ACJ330 cabin completion project, which for the first time will include humification in all six cabin zones,” says Peter Landquist, vice president and senior advisor sales at CTT.
Without an efficient humidification system, the cabin air in the VIP aircraft or large cabin business jet is far more dehydrating than any place on Earth at below 5% relative humidity (RH). This VIP aircraft will have a striking humidity increase, restored to comfort and wellbeing levels, at above 20% RH. VIP passengers will on long-haul flights benefit from reduced dry air related problems such as fatigue, jet-lag, red eyes, dry throat, dry skin and the spread of virus diseases, and improved wellbeing and general sleep. The CTT humidifier is based on evaporative cooling technology and uses a method that effectively precludes the transfer of bacteria. The CTT IFH VIP system offers total anti-condensation protection.
