The contract covers all flight control systems (rudder actuators, backup energy

systems) and equipment in the aircraft information system (database loading, flight data acquisition unit, flight recorder).

Sagem will give Emirates complete 24/7 AOG (Aircraft on Ground) coverage,

including spare parts available worldwide, guaranteed repair services and

continuous monitoring of equipment reliability.

This latest contract with a major airline further strengthens Sagem’s position in the avionics maintenance market, and clearly reflects its ability to deliver simple, flexible and cost-effective solutions tailored to the support needs of Emirates, which operates the largest fleet in the Middle East.

Sagem supplies optronics, avionics, electronics and safety-critical software for both civil and military markets as well as inertial navigation systems (INS) used in air, land and naval applications.
