Let Bucher’s innovative solutions inspire you at AIX 2019

22/03/2019

Bucher is bringing the world’s airlines improved digital communication between on-board personnel, more efficient and cost-effective processes, as well as improved transparency for inflight crew. It is also empowering airlines to reduce food waste and make cost savings by providing accurate meal consumption figures through data analysis.

To enable airlines to drive revenue inflight and better promote on-board duty-free sales, Bucher is also presenting its revolutionary galley shopping window. Supplementing an airlines duty-free brochure, this platform will enhance the purchasing process and drive sales of products displayed in the shopping window. Sales will be tracked through the inventory management system and entrances and exits of sales recorded using a sophisticated EPS system. What’s more, at the push of a button, sales and inventory reports can be produced in real time.

Since its inception, Bucher has been known as a pioneer in lightweight construction. This year, Bucher has broken new ground with the development of its ultra-light bionic partition. This partition supports the cabin crew during their inflight tasks and provides extra protection for crew in the event of an emergency situation. The multifunctional partition is the first of four types to pass through the rigorous qualification and certification programs. The partition will be installed by Airbus in the rear of its A320 aircraft types.

Visitors to Bucher’s stand will also be able to experience demonstrations of its ATS stretcher. 2019 marks the 1,000th sale of the stretcher to satisfied airline customers. Demonstrations of the stretcher will include the assembly and disassembly process which takes place in just 8-10 minutes without the need for any tools. The height can be adjusted to fit neatly and safely in a wide range of aircraft seating and pitch dimensions. In its most common configuration, the installation of the stretcher requires the blocking of only three rows of seats.

Finally, in one of most interactive showcases at AIX, visitors to Bucher’s booth will be able to touch and feel its high-end cabin and seat mechanisms including the Tray Table Deployment Systems and Tablet Holder Solutions. Notably, the brand new half-size ARCTICart, a thermally insulated ATLAS inflight service cart able to maintain food safely chilled for more than 20 hours without dry-ice or air chillers, will be presented to the public for the first time.

The entire team at the Bucher Group looks forward to welcoming you on booth #5D60
