AD Aerospace to Supply
CabinVu to Icelandair
Icelandair has chosen CabinVu from AD Aerospace, an AD Group company,
to improve safety and security on board its B757 aircraft. CabinVu increases
cockpit security by giving the pilots’ a clear view of any activity outside the
cockpit door and in the adjacent galleys from their usual seated positions and
therefore greatly improving their situational awareness.
“At Icelandair our first focus is on providing safe, reliable and convenient
services and the addition of CabinVu makes our aircraft and therefore our
customers safer”, said Jens Bjarnason VP Icelandair Technical Services.
“We see AD Aerospace as the best choice as they, like us, focus on their
customers’ needs.”
