Primaris Airlines Installs Iridium Satellite Communications

Eight Installations Expected Between Now And Mid-2005

Primaris Airlines is outfitting its fleet of aircraft with Iridium satellite telephones supplied by Blue Sky Network.

Primaris Airlines installed the first Iridium system in April 2004 on a Boeing 757, which operates under charter for a special assignment press corps. The airline will complete two more installations before the end of the year, with five more expected by mid-2005.

The Iridium communications suite consists of seven 9505 mobile phones, one of which is used for crew communications and the others for passengers. The cabin is wired with TNC connections in overhead panels next to the passenger lights and air vents. When a call needs to be made, one of the phones is simply plugged into the TNC.

John Pearsall, president of Primaris Airlines, said, "We have been really happy with the performance and clarity of the phones, and we are very pleased with the reliability of the system."
