New solutions for long-haul
With two phases of expansion completed in 2012 taking capacity to 15,000 passenger places per annum, Acro Aircraft Seating will unveil two new products at Aircraft Interiors Expo 2013. Acro’s rapid expansion over the past 12 months has followed it moving into the long-haul full service and regional jet sectors. Acro’s stand will feature its 18.5” wide long-haul economy seats incorporating IFE, headrests, innovative stowage solutions and a convertible option – everything the long- haul flag carrier cabin expects for economy class. Also on display will be Acro’s new RJ seats, reflecting on-going partnerships with regional jet and turboprop manufacturers Fokker and Saab. Acro has developed seats flying on Fokker, Saab and ATR aircraft. All new seat types maintain
Acro’s principles of comfort, simplicity, robust design and clean, assured aesthetics.

At Aircraft Interiors Expo 2012 MacCarthy showcased an A330 lavatory concept, explains Graham Hutchins Marketing Manager at MacCarthy, “which as a direct result of exhibiting at the show we announced an order worth in excess of £5 million pounds; our single largest order in the company’s history. The order was for the refurbishment of Airbus lavatories for over 30 aircraft. This year we have also seen a significant increase in B767 lavatory enquiries and orders coming through, so we are presenting a fully refurbished B767 M8 unit on our stand at Aircraft Interiors Expo 2013.” The M8 will showcase MacCarthy’s diverse manufacturing capability, complete with signature Corian work tops, EMTEQ LED lighting and backlit engraved mirrors. Two new products designed and manufactured by MacCarthy are a new moulded PanGuard from materials supplied by Schneller and a revolutionary toilet shroud.
The floor panel will enhance the look of the lavatory but also ensures maintenance costs are kept down due to its durability. MacCarthy will be installing the new pan guard into seventy lavatories for a fleet of B767s for a European customer in 2013, as part of a fleet upgrade programme.
The one piece colour moulded panel toilet shroud has been designed and developed by MacCarthy Aviation, and is in the process of being certified ready for delivery to the launch customer by the end of March 2013. The benefits of this all new shroud are a reduction in weight, increased durability, lower cost compared to current market offerings, and will enhance an already strong portfolio of products from MacCarthy.
New RFID-enabled survival kits
EAM Worldwide has integrated RFID into its survival kit product family.
“Our clients have been enjoying enhanced traceability and efficiency with our RFID equipped life vests for over two years. Tagging our survival kits is a natural extension of our RFID enabled products,” stated Eloy Leal, Director of Operations and Engineering, EAM Worldwide. “Tagging survival kits also enhances the usability of our ‘Tag the Craft’ RFID software solution, allowing airlines to easily track all on-board RFID enabled assets.” RFID is securely integrated into the case of each survival kit. The RFID tag stores the birth record of the survival kit, which includes the part number, date of manufacture and date of next inspection. RFID chips are being applied to various kits in the EAM Worldwide product family, including first aid kits, desert kits, polar kits and supplemental survival kits. Additional RFID kit customisation is available upon request based on quantity and specifications. EAM Worldwide will be showcasing its RFID enabled survival kit family at Aircraft Interiors Expo 2013.
