FOLEY, Ala., May 30, 2019 \/PRNewswire\/ — Today Collins Aerospace Systems celebrated its 45-year relationship with Airbus by delivering the 1,000th nacelle for the A320neo program, delivering the 9000th V2500 nacelle, and continuing to support the ramp-up of the A220 nacelle program. These milestones were commemorated at a ceremony hosted by Collins Aerospace at its Foley, Alabama facility. More than 900 employees at the facility were joined by leaders from Airbus in the U.S., as well as Alabama Congressman Bradley Byrne, to mark the milestones. Collins Aerospace is a unit of United Technologies Corp. (UTX).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\n relationship with Airbus dates back to the A300, the first Airbus \naircraft. The milestones achieved are due to the strong collaboration \nand hard work from both companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This celebration and the work we do with Airbus goes far beyond Foley\n today. Teams across our worldwide sites are working with pride and \ncommitment to provide on-time delivery and quality, and ensure that our \nrelationship with Airbus remains strong for years to come,” said Jim Pollock,\n Collins Aerospace Vice President of Airbus Programs. “We’re now \nintegrating A320neo engines with our advanced nacelle systems on three \ncontinents and continuing to introduce new manufacturing innovations — \nsuch as robotic painting systems and advanced fastening tools — to meet\n the increasing global demand for air travel.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\n support of the Airbus A320neo program, Collins has invested hundreds of\n millions of dollars to expand manufacturing capacity at six global \nsites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collins\n Aerospace’s innovative nacelle system for the Airbus A320neo is \nperforming with 99.99% percent dispatch reliability. There are currently\n more than 750 Collins nacelles operating on A320neo aircraft with 32 \nairlines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In\n more than a million fleet hours since the A320neo’s entry into service,\n there have been less than 10 delays and zero cancellations associated \nwith the Collins nacelle,” said Pollock. “This type of reliability is a \ntestament to the commitment and dedication of the program, engineering, \nand airline support teams.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
