ACSNew sourcing approach to securethe aircraft service readiness

A new approach to customisation -

coming to reality

Why?

Deliver steep ramp-up

A380 / LR Lessons learnt

HoV Cost Management

Adaptability to various markets atshort notice

ADDADD

Customisation where it matters:

Specific operational requirements

Product branding and differentiation

Catalogue offering of pre-developedmodular cabin commodities

How?

Enriched standard aircraft platform,

adequately provisioned to easeinter-operability (adaptation to differentmarket needs)

Ease cabin reconfigurations / retrofits

Enabling Platform for stronger residual values

Industrialized Cabin Offering for a managed ramp-up
