flydubai Selects AstroNova’s ToughWriter® 5 Flight Deck Printer for 75 Boeing 737 MAXs

AstroNova, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALOT), a global leader in data visualization technologies, today announced that Dubai-based flydubai has signed an agreement to install the Company’s ToughWriter® 5 flight deck printer on the airline’s 75 Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft.

The advanced ToughWriter 5 flight deck printer is known for its high reliability and lower maintenance costs over its entire life cycle, reducing repair expenses. In addition, the light weight of the ToughWriter 5 contributes to lower operating costs and fuel savings for the air carrier compared with other flight deck printers.

flydubai unveiled its first Boeing 737 MAX 8 with the ToughWriter 5 installed at the Dubai Airshow 2017, one of the world’s largest air show events.

“This agreement demonstrates once again that the inclusion of our ToughWriter technology in the Boeing catalog is a prestigious mark of manufacturing quality and service reliability for airlines around the world,” said AstroNova President and CEO Greg Woods. “We are proud that flydubai has chosen our Aerospace business unit as a trusted partner and look forward to a long and successful relationship as the airline expands its Boeing 737 fleet.”
