CTT Systems awarded humidifier contract for new crew rest on A380

CTT SYSTEMS (“CTT”), the market leader of humidity control products in aircraft, today announces a contract to develop a humidifier for a new crew rest compartment on the A380 aircraft, to be introduced to customers in 2016.

The humidifier will be offered in the A380 catalogue as a Supplier-Furnished-Equipment (“SFE”). CTT Systems already provides crew rest humidifiers for the A380 program (as tier-2). CTT humidifiers have been in-service in the A380 aircraft since 2007.

“CTT is honored for continued support and trust in our humidifiers from Airbus and its A380 customers”, says Torbjörn Johansson, CEO of CTT Systems.

CTT's crew humidifier improves comfort, health and rest by maintaining a relative humidity of approx. 20%, compared to 3-5% without our humidifier. A higher humidity reduces dry air related problems (e.g. fatigue, jet-lag, red eyes, dry skin, spread of virus diseases).

The humidifier is based on evaporative cooling technology and uses a method that effectively precludes the transfer of bacteria.
