“By selecting MultiScan and our Multi Mode Receiver, Air Berlin’s 737NG fleet will be equipped with systems that will provide advanced hazard detection capabilities, as well as the ability to meet future navigation requirements,” said Jeff Standerski, vice president and general manager, Air Transport Systems for Rockwell Collins.
