ARINC Incorporated today announced it has received a contract from major South Korean low-cost carrier Jeju Air, for a suite of ARINC voice and data communications and network services.

ARINC will provide Jeju Air with its GLOBALink/VHFSM and GLOBALink/HFSM data link communications, and its AviNet® Type B network service, with value-added messaging applications for enhanced operational efficiency and performance.

Mr. Park Keuk Ro, Director, Operation Support Division, Jeju Air, stated “ARINC’s solutions have a good track record for quality and reliability. Consistent and long-standing performance as well as flexibility in adhering to our requirements were key factors that helped us in making our decision.”

The GLOBALink voice and data services will allow Jeju Air to benefit from seamless data transfer and communications between air and ground crews. ARINC’s AviNet Type B messaging supports pre-flight applications such as aircraft movement monitoring, passenger handling operations, and load control.

The AviNet Type B Messaging Service architecture is one of the most reliable in the world, delivering 100% availability. Based on store-and-forward capabilities and a robust set of IATA standard message routing features built into ARINC’s high-availability message platform, it supports legacy, proprietary, and custom messaging applications, as well as industry-standard IP-based MQ and MATIP formats.

ARINC Incorporated, a portfolio company of The Carlyle Group, provides communications, engineering and integration solutions for commercial, defense and government customers worldwide. Headquartered in Annapolis, Maryland with regional headquarters in London and Singapore, ARINC is ISO 9001:2008 certified.

ARINC has been Vueling’s preferred supplier since the airline was established in 2004. The new agreement makes ARINC the carrier’s exclusive data link provider.

“ARINC welcomes the enhanced business relationship reflected in this agreement and we look forward to supporting Vueling’s future growth initiatives,” said Michael DiGeorge, ARINC EMEA Senior Program Director, Aviation Solutions.

The new agreement provides Vueling with ARINC’s ACARS data link service, Type B messaging and connectivity, and ARINC’s OpCenter solution, which allows the airline to integrate data link information across the enterprise. Interconnecting OpCenter with other Vueling systems enables real-time automatic processing of data sent and received by the carrier’s expanded fleet of 48 aircraft, as well as 24/7 flight operations support.

Vueling has recently added new operating bases in the Netherlands (Amsterdam) and France (Toulouse), and is now operating more routes in cooperation with Iberia out of Madrid.

Vueling is renowned in the industry for its focus on the bottom line and ARINC accepted a review of the communications contract to support the airline’s growing fleet and route network, while keeping costs as low as possible.

“Through our recent expansion, we have come to rely on ARINC to help us maximize productivity and efficiency at optimum cost,” said Vueling’s Albert Pérez Subirós, Manager of Engineering & Planning. “We are very pleased at their ability to assist in our growth while keeping a sharp focus on cost control and the bottom line.”

“ARINC will continue to deliver the same high level of service and commitment that Vueling has received complete web-based messaging solution for anyone who communicates with flight or ground crews via data link service. Its flexible, customizable message-management capabilities can be adapted to meet the needs of any operational environment. More information can be found at http://typebmessaging-avinet.com/.
