ICELANDAIR Orders Sliding Carpet® Loading Systems For
Entire Fleet of B757-200 Aircraft
Telair International announced today a firm order from ICELANDAIR for twenty-six (26) Sliding Carpet® Loading Systems for installation in their entire fleet of Boeing 757-200 aircraft, both PAX and Freighters. ICELANDAIR began installing the systems last December and all installations will be completed by May 2005.
"We are extremely proud to announce ICELANDAIR as a new member in our growing family of global customers, acknowledging the cost reductions and ergonomics the Sliding Carpet® System delivers,â€? said Anders Helmner, Vice President, Telair Narrowbody Group. "ICELANDAIR places a very high priority on quick gate turns and high loading performance and we are certain the Sliding Carpet® systems will allow them set and meet even higher operating standards.â€?
Nearly 50 carriers worldwide fly over 2500 Sliding Carpet® Loading Systems with 99% reliability. The system consists of a moving floor belt and attached bulkhead and allows just one on-board operator to load and off-load baggage and small cargo from a single ergonomically safe position at the cargo bay door. It has proven to reduce manpower costs, reduce damages to aircraft and baggage, speed loading and unloading, and enhance operator safety.
Telair International has served the airline industry for more than 35 years, and is today aggressively transforming itself into the premier "one-stop shop� for all cargo-handling solutions - widebody cargo loading, narrow body cargo loading, cargo containment products, aircraft actuators, aftermarket services, and an expanding line of hardened aircraft unit load devices and on-board ballistic panels. Telair narrow body operations serve the world through engineering and sales offices in Lund, Sweden and through customer support centers on three continents.
