Xiamen Airlines has selected Rockwell Collins to provide avionics on five new Boeing 737NG aircraft with deliveries scheduled for 2005.

The advanced MMR also offers instrument landing system capability and high-integrity, satellite-based positioning for navigation and future landing functions. The system also offers growth to support microwave landing system capability and is designed to meet future air traffic management requirements while offering commonality across fleet types.

Other Rockwell Collins equipment chosen by Xiamen Airlines includes the ADF-900 Automatic Direction Finder, CPL-920D Coupling Unit, HFS-900 High Frequency System, LRA-900 Low-range Radio Altimeter, Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS), VOR-900 VHF Omnidirectional Radio and the VHF-920 Very High Frequency Transceiver.
