Businesspeople spend a lot of time traveling. It’s important to make that time as comfortable and healthy as possible. Cabin humidity contributes to passengers’ comfort level in flight.
The typical humidity of a business jet cabin is less than 5%, resulting in fatigue and jet lag, dehydration, and degraded immune function. And for passengers with respiratory issues, low-humidity environments can be dangerous.
To address the need for balanced humidity levels onboard, cabin humidification specialists CTT Systems create products that focus on safe humidity levels for aircraft and passengers.
The Cair System™ boosts the relative humidity in the cabin to around 20% — a huge benefit for aircraft passengers. CTT supplies these systems to aircraft manufacturers for installation during production of new aircraft and to airlines for existing fleets.
Currently, Cair is available for large aircraft, specifically Boeing and Airbus jetliners. However, the private jet market is an important sector for CTT Systems. According to Flightglobal, within the next two years, the company hopes to have a downsized humidification system available for more mainstream aircraft.
This is good news for private jet owners. People use their business aircraft frequently and to travel long distances. With so much time spent in the air, a higher-humidity environment will improve passengers’ wellbeing during and after their flights.
With solutions that increase passenger wellness, contribute to a better environment, and improve airline economy, it’s no surprise that CTT Systems is growing. Keep an eye out for the company’s future improvements to its humidification systems; it’s likely that business jet owners will be breathing easy in no time.
