CTT is supporting Fly Green Fund for development of SAF

CTT has a policy to carbon offset part of the companies business travel around the world by supporting SAF manufacturing and development.

During 2022 it led to the purchase of 1 224kgs of SAF and a reduction of almost 3 mtons of CO2 through Fly Green Fund.

CTT Systems is the market-leading provider of humidity control products in aircraft, including Moisture Control Systems to prevent fuselage condensation and inflight humidifiers – Humidifier On-board – for crew and passenger well-being.

Humidifier Onboard is improving well-being and wellness in-flight deck and crew rests on more than 1,000 widebody commercial airliners and more than 100 VIP aircraft. This highly appreciated climate feature has started to migrate to the premium passenger cabin and large-cabin, long-range business jets.

The weight-cutting Anti-Fuselage-Condensation system is a green technology and the only measure that tackles the root cause of condensation – reducing fuel consumption and cutting CO₂ emissions.

All products are available for retrofit installations and line-fit on Airbus A380, A350, Boeing 787 and 777X. The crew humidifier is standard equipment in a crew rest compartment on Boeing 787 and a standalone option in the crew rest compartment on A380, A350XWB and B777X. The flight deck humidifier is SFE listed on Airbus A350XWB, Boeing 787 and Boeing 777X. Inflight Humidification (IFH) – Humidifier On-board – is SFE listed for First/Business Class on A350XWB (Zone 1-3) and Boeing 777X (Zone 1 and 2). The Anti-Fuselage-Condensation system is SFE listed on A350 and is SFE-selected for the A320 Family.

Airbus Corporate Jets signs deal with CTT SYSTEMS to supply the humidification system for the ACJ TwoTwenty business jet.

CTT Systems, the market leader of aircraft humidity control system, signs a business agreement with Airbus Corporate Jets (“ACJ”) to supply the humidification system for the ACJ TwoTwenty business jet. ACJ is launching humidification as part of its cabin catalogue for the TwoTwenty to be delivered as bolt-on-kit system with STC together with newbuilt TwoTwenty (green) aircraft.

The TwoTwenty humidification system is developed by CTT in partnership with ACJ. The joint ambition is to achieve a minimum weight solution while ensuring the highest levels of performance, including optimized humidity in the entire cabin with efficient anti-condensation protection. The humidification system is designed to equally distribute humidified air in the extra-large business jet cabin.

“The ACJ TwoTwenty includes a flexible cabin catalogue, opening the Xtra large business jet categories. Airbus is committed to offer market-leading comfort and best cabin performance in the extra-large TwoTwenty business jet,” says Benoit Defforge, President ACJ. “As part of this effort, we will promote the humidification system. Because only if humidity is restored to adequate and ground-like level, passengers can fully benefit from long-haul travel in the best large-cabin business jet on the market.”

“We are delighted that Airbus Corporate Jets includes humidification as part of the comfort climate in ACJ TwoTwenty aircraft,” says Peter Landquist, Vice President Senior Advisor Sales at CTT Systems. “ACJ is first-in-the large-cabin business jet segment to offer significantly elevated cabin air humidity with total moisture protection that eliminates all fuselage condensation issues.”

Without an efficient humidification system, the business jet cabin is far more dehydrating than any place on Earth – below 5% RH. The ACJ TwoTwenty humidification system will enable a cabin climate restored to comfort and well-being level, due to a striking humidity increase, to above 20% Relative Humidity (RH). Passengers will on long-haul flights benefit from reduced dry air related problems (e.g. fatigue, jet-lag, red eyes, dry skin, spread of virus diseases) and improved wellbeing and sleep. The CTT humidifier is based on evaporative cooling technology and uses a method that effectively precludes the transfer of bacteria. The ACJ TwoTwenty business jet will be protected by the CTT Anti-Fuselage-Condensation system.
