Irvine, California Burrana is delighted to announce another successful in-seat power installation on four B737-MAX 8 aircraft for Cayman Airways.
Cayman Airways, the flag carrier airline of the British Overseas Territory of the Cayman Islands has banked on Burrana to power up their passenger experience. Cayman’s tagline, “Those who fly us, love us more” rings louder now that passengers can power and charge multiple devices on Cayman Airways aircraft.
The program, a first for Burrana on a Boeing B737Max aircraft, includes an all-economy offering with two combo USB-A and -C jacks per triple seat, powered by one USB Seat Box (USP) per seat group. The system is seat leg mounted to 144 B/E Aerospace Meridian seats giving passengers plenty of leg room with no protrusion into their personal space.
Critical to Cayman’s selection of Burrana was their requirement for the lightest weight system having no impact to the existing seat certification, while driving additional benefits from reduced components and LRUs. Burrana’s ISPS achieves this with a 48VDC power architecture delivering an ultra-light system with higher reliability and fewer components compared to competitive AC distribution systems.
David Pook, VP Global Marketing & Sales, explains, “Cayman’s passengers will be able to enjoy all the benefits of Burrana’s in-seat power solution, including high-speed USB charging, intelligent power-sharing distribution and load shed management that ensures greater utilization of available power, while multiple levels of redundancy provide the highest reliability, meaning the possibility of a passenger-facing failure is almost zero”.
Fabian Whorms, CEO at Cayman Airways stated, “We were looking for a retrofit in-seat power system for our B737MAX aircraft. We chose Burrana for their favorable pricing, lower weight, innovative system and installation design. The Burrana team was very committed and responsive to our needs. After more than a year in service, we are very satisfied with the reliability of the product.”
