Lufthansa has signed a 10-year agreement to buy AlliedSignal enhanced ground proximity warning systems (EGPWS) for most of its aircraft as well as those of its subsidiaries.
AlliedSignal says the agreement initially covers the purchase of 175 systems for existing aircraft in the Lufthansa fleet but the order is expected to grow with extension of the agreement to all Lufthansa subsidiary carriers.
Lufthansa and Lufthansa Cargo have already committed to purchase the systems for their fleets while Lufthansa Technik will offer installation of EGPWS on third-party aircraft.
The agreement covers all primary aspects of EGPWS acquisition, including equipment purchase, installation, certification warranty, system improvements and terrain database updates.
