KEY CHALLENGES

Why choose Thales for Commercial air transport?

  1. Flight safety

    Flight safety is a constant throughout the sector and underpins everything we deliver, designed to mitigate human error, technical failure, and external threats while ensuring compliance with rigorous standards and protocols to protect passengers, crew, and aircraft integrity.

  2. Sustainable aviation

    The aviation sector has to balance the growing demand for air travel with the need to reduce carbon emissions, noise, and air pollution. Thales is delivering applications both in the cockpit and on the ground aimed at optimizing air operations and minimizing environmental impact

  3. Cybersecurity

    The aviation ecosystem is ever more interconnected and interdependent. Through a structured approach, Thales ensures that flight operations, ground and on-board systems and the passenger experience are cyber-savvy, resilient and secure.

  4. Operation efficiency

    Efficient air operations are key to passenger satisfaction but also contribute to an operator’s environmental credentials. Thales provides the maintenance and repair, fleet monitoring capabilities, and digital tools to ensure optimum fleet availability.

  5. Passenger experience

    The bottom line in commercial aviation is to provide a travel experience that is second-to-none. From arriving at the airport and passing through security checkpoints to the time spent in-flight, Thales systems contribute to making people’s journeys ever more enjoyable and rewarding.

  6. End-to-end connectivity

    Connectivity in aviation involves seamlessly integrating various communication systems between aircraft, airlines, airports, and air traffic control. Thales is enabling increased connectivity to unlock additional capabilities, enhanced safety and greater operational excellence.
