Burrana and Akkodis to provide RISE Power system for PlusUltra Airlines

Burrana has signed an agreement with Akkodis to provide its RISE Power system for installation on two Airbus A330s for PlusUltra Airlines.

Burrana and Akkodis will begin delivering in the fourth quarter of 2022 for retrofit installations on PlusUltra Airlines’ existing A330 fleet, which will begin in early 2023. Burrana says the award is part of PlusUltra’s recently announced fleet and cabin upgrade initiative to maximise its passenger experience.

The system configuration selected by PlusUltra will provide two dual USB-A jacks per triple seat group (a total of four USB-A jacks per triple seat), and one dual USB-A jack per double seat group (a total of two USB-A jacks per double seat).

Mojca Svensek, Sales Director for Aircraft Support & Operations at Akkodis, said: “Our goal is to ensure that we provide our customers’ passengers with the best in-seat power system and guarantee high-quality aircraft engineering support through our approved Part 21J&G design team within our aircraft support and operations business.

“Burrana is a clear choice, with their ultralightweight solution providing USB-A power ports on every seat in the aircraft, in a space-saving system architecture that does not compromise leg room or aircraft weight.”
