Vigiplane, Sabena technics’ aircraft-on-ground security device, is now qualified as an official Airbus Tool & Equipment and as a new option available to Airbus Corporate Jets (ACJ) operators.
Using the latest technologies, the Vigiplane guarantees 24/7 monitoring of the aircraft on ground and protects it from a variety of risks. The device, which operates autonomously from the aircraft systems and does not require certification, can detect whether any attempt has been made to get into the aircraft or interfere with it.
“Vigiplane is a smart and innovative solution that answers the growing demand for protection of aircraft on ground. This qualification win illustrates our focus on delivering new solutions to the industry”, said Philippe Rochet, Chief Operating Officer of Sabena technics. “We are proud to be approved by Airbus and to be part of ACJ’s network of suppliers. We look forward to providing their customers with our cutting-edge device.”
Airbus Corporate Jets (ACJ) create the world’s most rewarding flying experiences with customers by providing them with unique expertise, the finest service, best technology and highest standards of care in corporate aviation. Consequently, making innovative technology such as Vigiplane available to the operators of the more than 180 Airbus corporate jets that are in service around the world was a natural step in delighting ACJ’s customers.
Vigiplane by Sabena technics guarantees the protection of several aircraft types from business jets to commercial aircraft, as well as civil and military cargo aircraft.
The Vigiplane will be showcased at EBACE on Sabena technics’ booth – S066 and Airbus Corporate Jets’ booth – N115
