The first of the airline’s 16 787 Dreamliners are due to enter service in late 2014 and the airline is well prepared to ensure that all aspects of the MRO operation are fully
in place.

 

Key to Virgin Atlantic’s purchase decision was the unique design of Powervamp’s PV90-3 and its unique solid state module, enabling the complete electronics system to be removed and replaced in a matter of minutes.

 

“This feature holds great importance for our customers. Swapping with a spare module will resolve 99% of any problem in minutes…”

Jake Mearns, Powervamp Technical Director, commented: “This feature holds great importance for our customers. Swapping with a spare module will resolve 99% of
any problem in minutes and in the demanding environment of a 24/7 MRO facility, operational continuity is a must.”

Powervamp also modified the design of its PV90-3 to allow for the particular electrical installation requirements Virgin Atlantic had at its Heathrow Engineering Hangar.

Since the launch of the PV90-3, Powervamp’s approach to ensuring GPU maximum “up time” has won substantial new business with airlines and airports that previously had depended on traditional names in the industry.

 

“Their UK base gave us peace of mind that they could be on site within hours…we’re looking forward to working with Powervamp again in the future.”

 

Jonathan Green, Contracts Manager at Virgin Atlantic, commented:

“The arrival of our 787-9 presented us the opportunity to review our hangar power systems and Powervamp suited us perfectly. The modular system allows any faults to be swapped without disruption to the engineering operation and their UK base gave us peace of mind that they could be on site within hours. They were even able to adapt their modules so we could use existing supplies with little disruption to the business and we’re looking forward to working with Powervamp again in the future.”
