The latest supplemental type certificate
award provides long haul operators with access to the industry
leading solution, from the company that pioneered the
technology.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ga., July 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Jetaire Group, a
global leader in aviation safety and compliance solutions, is proud
to announce that the INVICTA reticulated polyurethane foam
technology for aircraft center wing tank flammability compliance is
now an approved flammability reduction means (FRM) and ignition
mitigation means (IMM) for Airbus A330-200 and 300 series aircraft
under FAA supplemental type certificate (STC) ST04590AT.
This significant milestone ensures that all Airbus aircraft
affected by the upcoming mandatory compliance to the Fuel Tank
Flammability Reduction Rule are now covered by Jetaire STCs. The
initial installations for the A330 series are being performed for a

longstanding commercial relationships and the aviation industry as

INVCTA's latest approval as an FRM and IMM marks a pivotal
development for aviation safety, offering enhanced protection
against flammability risks in fuel tanks. This achievement
underscores Jetaire's dedication to innovation and safety in the
aviation sector.

With this new STC, Jetaire Group, pioneers of RPF utilization
for passenger aircraft, continues to lead the way in aviation

development is expected to have a positive impact on operational
safety and regulatory compliance for Airbus A330 operators
globally.
Williams commented, "As the mandatory timeline for aircraft
modification draws nearer, our team continues to innovate and
expand our capabilities to ensure operators and owners have a
trusted alternative to nitrogen-generating systems."
