Comlux partners with Sonaca to launch polished slats on Airbus ACJ family aircraft

Comlux is pleased to announce the launch of polished slats on Airbus ACJ Family aircraft, together with Sonaca, an Aerostructure manufacturing company based in Belgium.

While Sonaca, producing all slats for all Airbus Family aircraft is in charge of the design and manufacturing, Comlux becomes the exclusive provider of the polished slats.

The certification and installation on the first aircraft is scheduled for July 2010 and from that moment such improvement will be available for any operator who would like to customize its aircraft.

Richard Gaona, President of Comlux The Aviation Group says "We are very pleased to launch today the polished slats program together with Sonaca. While the ACJ Family aircraft are offering excellent capabilities to our customers, I must say that, as "VIP airliner" aircraft, they need some relooking to be more appealing. I am convinced this nice improvement will attract other operators, and I have tasked Christophe Lapierre, the Head of our Engineering and Services division to offer this option to every ACJ operator. This new step in our Group development demonstrates again our willingness to always provide our customers with the Complete Luxury Aviation Service"

"The polished slat concept is a great idea and it will give the aircraft a brand new look", says Marcel Devresse, Director of Programs and Marketing at Sonaca," We have been working with Comlux on this project since 2009 and we have a wide experience on the Airbus ACJ family aircraft as we have done other projects with Airbus in the past. We are looking forward delivering the first shipset of polished slats on the Airbus of Comlux and enjoying the ACJ newlook on its 1st flight."
