TM Lufttransport-Unternehmen GmbH & Co. (LTU) order Zonal Drying System for complete A330-200 fleet after successful evaluation. TM LTU in Germany have ordered installation of CTT Systems Zonal Drying System, in order to prevent condensation, in their complete fleet of Airbus A330-200 aircraft, a total of seven aircraft. Installation of first three aircraft is planned for December 2000 and additional two aircraft during year 2001 and two during year 2002. The decision was based upon a successful In-Service evaluation over a six months period carried out in one of LTU´s A330 aircraft having the Zonal TM Drying System installed. The evaluation, overviewed by representatives TM from Airbus Industry, showed the effectiveness of the Zonal Drying System in drying out the insulation blankets and continuously preventing the build-up of new condensation between the cabin and the aircraft skin. "This order is an important step for CTT because not only have LTU been impressed by our system but Airbus Industry have also followed the evaluation and seen the effectiveness. Furthermore, we are delighted that LTU have increased the number of aircraft to be equipped with our system", comments CTT Systems AB president Mr. Torbjörn Johansson the order. "For LTU, being a charter operator with high density aircrafts, it is TM important to have the Zonal Drying System installed. It helps us to save weight, stop "rain in the plane" and solves problems with corroded electrical connectors up in the crown area. Our intention is to have the systems installed at the time when we take delivery of our new Airbus A330-200 aircraft. ", comments Mr. Helmut Feigl, LTU Team Leader A330 the order. TM The CTT Zonal Drying System is designed to combat problems related to water condensation in the thermal and acoustic insulation of modern passenger aircraft. Airlines encountering "rain-in-the-plane" syndrome and other difficulties related to moisture accumulation in their TM insulation blankets can use the Zonal Drying System to mitigate these problems, reduce maintenance costs by increasing the service life of the insulation and realize significant fuel savings by eliminating the non-revenue weight of the accumulated water condensate. By keeping dry the area between the interior trim panels and the aircraft skin, the Zonal TM Drying System also reduces corrosion and the risk of failure of electronic systems and wiring. TM To date, CTT have the following customers for their Zonal Drying system: * Martinair for B767-300 and MD11 * Jet Aviation for Excecutive aircrafts B767-200, B757-200 and Boeing Business Jet * KLM Royal Dutch Airlines for MD11 and B767 * Austrian Airlines for MD80 * LTU for Airbus A330 * Raytheon Systems Company regarding NASA/DLR SOFIA-project (Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy) * Canadair Regional Jet (undisclosed operator) * Swissair for MD11 * SAS regarding Moisture Management System for Boeing B767 * STERLING EUROPEAN AIRLINES for Boeing B737-800 (Next Generation) CTT Systems AB is located in Nyköping, Sweden and listed on the OM Stockholm Exchange AB O-list in Stockholm.
