Collins Inks Avionics Support Deal with Etihad
A 10-year service contract between Collins and Etihad covers the airline’s Boeing 787 fleet.

Collins Aerospace has signed a 10-year support agreement with Etihad Airways covering the Abu Dhabi-based carrier’s fleet of Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners. The contract centers on Collins’s Dispatch flight-hour program and marks the first “performance-based” service program with Etihad.

Under the deal, Collins (Stand 1055) will provide on-site spares, maintenance services including upgrades, access to a worldwide 787 assets pool, and technical support for avionics. Collins claims to possess “unmatched knowledge” as the supplier and systems integrator of the 787’s flight deck display system, crew alerting system, pilot controls, and other critical components and systems.
