Key Points
Contracts for over 400 Airbus aircraft in the past six months
Customers include Volaris, VIVa, Azul, Easyjet, the IAG group and Hong Kong Express
70% market share for FMS and 47% market share for T CAS on Airbus aircraft linefit selections in 2015
At the Farnborough Airshow, Thales announces its Flight Management Systems and T CAS surveillance platforms have been selected on over 400 Airbus single-aisle aircraft.
With more than 20 airline selections over the past six months, Thales continues as global leader on the FMS market with 70 % market share and on the T CAS surveillance solution one of our most successful selectable products on airbus aircraft since 2014, with about 50% of linefit selections.
Across Asia and Europe, the group achieved key selections early 2016 for avionics packages including the FMS and T CAS with Hong Kong Express on 24 aircraft, easyJet that selected T CAS for their A320 NEO and CEO fleet totalling 136 aircraft and the IAG group for their single aisle fleet.
The group also recorded several breakthrough selections in the Americas including Azul, Volaris, VIVa on A320NEO and CEO fleets and undisclosed airlines totalling over 180 aircraft.
A large number of contracts signed also include the Thales Low Range Radio Altimeter (LRRA) and the Thales/Kannad ELT Integra Emergency Locator Transmitters.
These record sales are for us proof of the continued trust airlines place in our Topflight Flight management system and Thales/ACSS T CAS surveillance solution comforting our position on the market with about 47% of Airbus linefit selections.
Daniel Malka, Thales VP and General Manager for Avionics Services Worldwide

About the T3CAS
The T3CAS is one of our most successful selectable products on Airbus aircraft since 2014, with about 47% of the line fit selections (in front of the two other competitors) in 2015 and growing. This success resides in the integration in a single 6 MCU box of the 3 most important surveillance functions: TCAS (Traffic Collision Avoidance System), TAWS (Terrain Avoidance Warning System) and Transponder, saving weight, space and power hence money to the airline. In addition, these functions benefit from the latest features like Change 7.1 compliance for TCAS, or Performance based for the TAWS, ADS-B IN and ROPS capabilities.
Integra ELT - Emergency Locator Transmitter and an extension of OROLIA (formerly KANNAD) ELTs range whose development is based on improving the safety of flights. It provides redundancy and ensures increased accuracy of the aircraft position for the rescue team to efficiently come to the appropriate location. Today, Thales Kannad ELTs continue to be the preferred option on Airbus platforms. Thanks to its built-in GPS and internal antenna, INTEGRA is 100% autonomous. It is the only ELT with automatic switching of the internal antenna upon detection of failure of the external antenna connection.
