MRO provider C&L Aviation Group has partnered with DPI Labs to install the latter’s cabin management systems. C&L will provide custom integrated upgrades and complete replacements of obsolete CMSs in Gulfstreams, Bombardier Challengers and Learjets, Hawkers and other types. DPI’s CMSs are found on many private, commercial and VIP aircraft, including the two Boeing 747-200s that currently serve as the Presidential Air Force One fleet.
The two companies have developed solutions with DPI switches, touchscreens and controllers that are fit and functional replacements for former Pacific Systems, Collins and Baker Electronics components. With them, Bangor, Maine-based C&L can upgrade systems with minimal impact on existing cabin furnishings or veneers.
Tom Chapman, C&L’s senior vice president for corporate aircraft, said, “Having the OEM working with us every step of the way, along with our own large cabin experience, will ensure swift, reliable installations.”
