UPS A300-600F retrofit completed


Airbus has completed the cockpit upgrade project for 52 A300-600F and two simulators in the UPS Airlines fleet. The final delivery of an aircraft retro-fitted with state-of-the-art cockpit avionics in March was the culmination of a six-year project signed in March 2017, with embodiment launched in 2021, and is the first time an upgrade of this complexity was implemented on the A300.

 

The enhancements will enable UPS to operate and maintain the fleet type for another decade or more. UPS pilots aren’t the only beneficiaries of the fleet upgrade: maintenance is also simplified with a centralised system which eases troubleshooting in case of failure, and the ability to load new software for upgrades without removing hardware from the aircraft.
