Rockwell Collins To Supply Oman Air

Rockwell Collins will provide avionics for the Oman Air fleet of 12 Boeing 737NGs, the company announced. Oman Air will also retrofit its current fleet of nine 737s with Rockwell Collins data link products.

Among systems selected are the Rockwell Collins MultiScan Hazard Detection System weather radar, GLU925 Multi-Mode Receiver, and TTR-921 TCAS II receiver/transmitter.

The Rockwell Collins data link system supports current Mode 2 31.5 Kbits/sec VHF data radios and is the future platform for air-traffic control data link mandates such as Link 2000+. It allows flight crews to request and receive messages such as clearances, flight plan updates, weather data, diversion and emergency reports and passenger lists. The system also supports the automatic downlink of engine and fuel performance data, which can be used to reduce maintenance and operating costs.

“This is an important win as we look to further expand our presence in the Middle East,” said Jeff Standerski, Rockwell Collins vice president and general manager for Air Transport Systems.
