UTC Aerospace Systems says that it can cost effectively provide airlines with a continuous flight-tracking capability with its Aircraft Interface Device (AID), one of the products the component manufacturer featured at this year’s Paris Air Show. UTC is in final negotiations with an airline launch customer to provide the system as a retrofit, executives said.
