EVERETT, Wash., April 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Aviation Technical Services (ATS) today announced that it has been selected to install a Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS) on forty-nine Air Canada Airbus narrow body aircraft. Air Canada chose ATS to perform the installation on its A319 and A320 aircraft due to ATS' past performance in avionics modifications. ATS will begin the TAWS installations this month.
"ATS is pleased that Air Canada recognized our excellent track record in performing turnkey avionics modification programs, and this project fits with our strategic direction to grow our Airbus A320 capabilities," said Mike Beck, General Manager, Airframe Services.

ATS is able to meet the demanding schedule due to investments we've made in our award-winning project management system."
ATS has been recognized as an industry leader for its fleet integration and modification programs.
