Communications Services Aboard Jet Charter

Air Transat, Canada's largest charter airline, has awarded a long-term communications contract to ARINC Inc. for a comprehensive package of communications services. The combination of ARINC's GLOBALink/VHF and GLOBALink/Satellite services will provide worldwide voice and data link capability for Montreal-based Air Transat's flight operational communications, ARINC officials said. Both services will give the Air Transat Airbus fleet access to ARINC's worldwide Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System for essential flight operational information.

In addition to supporting the flight deck, ARINC's GLOBALink/Satellite service will benefit Air Transat passengers by allowing access to in-flight telephone services, ARINC officials said.
