"The APU/engine fire extinguishing system on the existing A320 family is shared between two suppliers. Backed by long-standing relationships with this customer and our excellent reputation for on-time delivery and quality, this integration has enabled us to compete for and win a sole source position on this exciting programme," said Dennis Hutton, President of Meggitt Safety Systems.
