Press releaseIssued by CTT Systems AB.

CTT Systems AB, the market leader of aircraft humidity control systems, has been selected by Airbus to provide fuselage anti-condensation products to A320 family aircraft for optional line-fit. The CTT anti-condensation products are part of an optional moisture control system to be offered as supplier furnished equipment, with first line-fitted aircraft delivery slot scheduled for 2023.

CTT is selected as tier-1 supplier to Airbus. DAGS Moisture Control will be certified for and in parallel with A321XLR, the newest A320 family version with extended range capabilities. CTT is targeting first serial product deliveries to Airbus in 2022.

"We are pleased that Airbus has selected CTT as tier-1 supplier of anti-condensation products for the A320 family program. This is a breakthrough for our active moisture control technology in the narrowbody market.", comments Mr. Torbjorn Johansson, CEO at CTT Systems. "We look forward to optimize our condensation prevention system together with Airbus in order to provide the required additional protection in parallel with passive means. In selecting the DAGS anti-condensation system, Airbus customers not only gain additional protection from unwanted moisture, but also take another step towards their commitment to continuously cut fuel consumption and lower CO2 emissions."

About anti-condensation protection

The CTT anti-condensation system keeps the crown area dry, removes trapped water in blankets, and significantly reduces risk for unwanted excess weight from water accumulation. Lowered excess aircraft weight reduces block fuel consumption and cuts carbon dioxide emissions. Additional costs savings comes from lower repair costs of moisture related damages in electrical components and equipment, repair/replace of blankets and reduced down-time due to electrical failures.
