AstroNova, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALOT), a global leader in data visualization
technologies, today announced that it has secured multi-year contracts
from several major Asian commercial airlines and leasing companies for
AstroNova-manufactured flight deck printers for installation on new
aircraft. The contracts vary in duration from four to eight years.
Additionally, the Company has established an authorized repair station
in Singapore to support its growing presence in the region.
“These latest commitments from Asia are a great endorsement of the many
operational benefits provided by our AstroNova avionics products and our
expanded regional presence,” said AstroNova President and CEO Greg
Woods. “We are pleased to see the continued expansion of our aerospace
business into Asia, which solidifies AstroNova as a global leader in
flight deck avionics. We look forward to building additional alliances
with Asian commercial airlines and leasing companies over the coming
quarters.”
According to the International Air Transport Association, the
Asia-Pacific region will be the biggest driver of industry growth over
the next two decades, with more than half the total number of new
passengers coming from these markets.
“The Singapore repair station simplifies logistics and provides rapid
turnaround for airlines that operate in the Asia region,” Woods
continued. “The station has received the necessary operational
certifications to repair AstroNova products from aviation authorities in
the US (Federal Aviation Administration), the European Union (European
Union Aviation Safety Agency) and China (Civil Aviation Administration
of China).”
