Swiss completions and MRO provider AMAC Aerospace has developed an STC for the Ka-band antenna on the Airbus ACJ330. The Honeywell Jetwave satcom system was installed on the bizliner during a base maintenance check, which also saw it receive several cabin interior upgrades.

“Our customer travels extensively for business and expects global connectivity worldwide,” said Eric Hoegen, AMAC's sales and key account manager, adding the company works closely with its vendors to ensure its clients receive the newest solutions on the market.

The increased data speed offered by the Ka-band system offers greater access to internet television and video streaming across multiple on-board devices, as well as support for uninterrupted email, web browsing, videoconferencing, data file transfers and voice and text capability.

Gunnar Jancke, the company’s director of design organization and quality assurance, noted that the STC was developed for multiple versions of the ACJ330 “to meet the increasing demand for high-speed connectivity on board large VIP aircraft.”
