A new agreement with China National Machinery Import and Export Corporation (CMC) will enable Astronics to provide its IFEC hardware and certification services to Chinese airlines, OEMs and service providers, for compliance in China and the USA.
On 6 November 2019, Michael Kuehn, president of Astronics Connectivity Systems and Certification, and Ruan Guang, chairman of CMC, signed the cooperation agreement at the Second China International Import Expo in Shanghai, China.
