CTT confirms Anti-Condensation retrofit order for 146 Airbus A321neo aircraft from Jet2.com
CTT SYSTEMS AB (“CTT”), the market leader of aircraft humidity control systems, confirms that leading leisure airline Jet2.com is the undisclosed customer that in January 2025 ordered 146 Anti-Condensation systems to be retrofitted in 146 Airbus A321neos, with optional purchase rights for additional nine systems. Deliveries of the first 30 systems will commence in Q3 2025 and are scheduled to be completed in 2028. Delivery dates for the remaining order of 125 systems are not yet specified, but all deliveries shall be completed no later than 2035.
The Anti-Condensation systems will be installed at the first C-check for every aircraft. Jet2.com has 13 A321neo aircraft in-service from a firm order of 146 aircraft. Jet2.com has been a CTT customer since 2007 and since then has fitted over 100 of its Boeing and Airbus aircraft with the Anti-Condensation system to moisture protect aircraft and reduce fuel consumption.
“We are pleased to receive another order from Jet2.com,” says Peter Landquist, Vice President Senior Advisor Sales.
“Jet2.com is a valued customer and leading operator in the UK with its policy to moisture-protect aircraft, which prevents unwanted excess weight and achieves numerous operational benefits.”
The CTT Anti-Fuselage-Condensation system removes trapped water in blankets, keeps the crown area dry and prevents unwanted excess weight from water accumulation. Airlines hereby operate with lower energy needs and less pollutant emissions.
A 200 – 300 kg weight reduction on Airbus A321neo aircraft generates the following advantages:
· Reducing fuel burn with estimated 0.4 – 0.6% and
· Cutting CO2 emissions with approx. 65 – 95 tons per aircraft per year with fuel savings of approx. 25,000 – 38,000 liters per year,
· Higher operational reliability from significantly lowered moisture-related faults in electrical equipment (reduced Out-Of-Service time and repair costs)
· Lower rate of insulation blanket replacement.
