Irvine, California. Burrana announces that it has been awarded a contract from Hong Kong-based start-up carrier Greater Bay Airlines (GBA) for the supply of in-seat cabin power (USB) on its Boeing 737-800 fleet.
GBA has applied to operate to a total of 104 destinations across the region, including Chinese Mainland, North Asia, Southeast Asia and the Indian Subcontinent. Critical to Greater Bay’s selection was Burrana’s ability to offer an easy installation with the lightest weight system in the industry. “Our ability to meet an aggressive modification timeline of fewer than 6 months, was key for GBA to comply with EASA certification to be able to start commercial operations in early October 2021” Ryo Lee, Director Asia Pacific at Burrana.
“We are very excited to be partnering with Greater Bay Airlines as they launch their new operations. GBA’s selection of Burrana confirms that our lightweight architecture, flexible installation options, and ability to deliver quickly are addressing key challenges that airlines face. We look forward to a long and prosperous partnership with GBA.” – David Pook, VP Marketing & Sales Support at Burrana.
