Cabin with a Vu

Caribbean Airlines, the national flag carrier of Trinidad and Tobago, has chosen to come back to AD Aerospace to enhance cockpit security on its Boeing 737 aircraft.  The Cockpit Door Monitoring System improves in flight security by increasing the situational awareness of the pilots by providing them with a clear and unrestricted view of any activity in the area outside the cockpit door and in the adjacent galleys.
