New product designed to protect aircraft auxiliary fuel systems from catastrophic explosion, satisfies both aviation regulations and Dallah's requirements in a single, seamless package.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, November 18 - Announced today at the Dubai Airshow, the Jetaire Group, an industry
leader in complete avionics and electrical systems solutions where durability
and peak performance are vital, has completed the installation of an
innovative product that can keep auxiliary aircraft fuel tanks from igniting.
Saudi Arabian major conglomerate Dallah Albaraka is the first company to
benefit from Jetaire's ground-breaking solution that also reduces the cost
for increasing fire suppression in transport category airplanes.

Engineered by the Jetaire Group and installed in The Dallah Albaraka
Group's Boeing 727 with Rogerson auxiliary fuel tanks, the solution is the
result of Jetaire's substantial FAA and European certification experience and
the 25 years of technical experience of its on-staff DERs and DARs.
Faisal Haddadin, Advisor to the Chairman of Dallah Flight Operations
said, "We were diligent in exploring a number of options for our
modification, and the Jetaire solution exceeded the criteria as the most
cost-effective and efficient that we have seen. By simultaneously satisfying
our requirements and the regulatory mandates while providing the level of
experience needed for a program of this complexity, Jetaire also saved us
both money and down time. Jetaire's ability to deliver value, quality and
exceed requirements was a major consideration for Dallah."
As a result of the catastrophic explosion of TWA's flight 800 in 1997,
aviation regulatory bodies require that affected auxiliary fuel tanks,
including most systems manufactured by ATS, PATS and Rogerson, be upgraded to
meet new safety guidelines. While typical solutions address single phases of
the requirements, the Jetaire solution is compliant with all phases and has
been approved for immediate installation in a number of models of Boeing
Business jets.
"Jetaire understands the complex requirements of the regulations and
those of our customers, and our experts have created a seamless solution with
no potential failure modes and a certified 14-year service life," said
Michael Williams, president of Jetaire and a member of the International Fire
Protections Working Group. "We have been responsible for certification of
more than 500 major regulatory approvals for commercial and corporate
aircraft and nearly 200 major design approvals. This solution for protecting
aircraft fuel systems from explosion is vital for aviation safety and a
hallmark for Jetaire."
In addition to a large number of certifications, Jetaire also holds 20
other Supplemental Type Certifications (STCs) for smoke detection and fire
suppression in business and commercial aircraft. As the first company to
certify the commercial use of the military version of an explosion
suppressant that protects the most advanced tactical fighter aircraft
currently in service, Jetaire is now developing structural corrections to
B737 aircraft that have PATS tanks requiring deactivation according to
directives for airworthiness.
