On June 30, 2010 FACC AG delivered its 3,000 th shipset of Ram Air Inlets to Airbus
Operations GmbH in Stade, Germany. The milestone Ram Air Inlets will be
incorporated into an aircraft of the A320 family.
Delivery of FACC‘s 3,000 th

marks more than 10 years of the
partnership between Airbus and
FACC on this program, occurred
during a ceremony held at FACC‘s
manufacturing facility in Ried, Austria.

Bernhard Matzner, CFO of FACC
AG, on behalf of the approximately
40 employees on hand for the festivities

„We take great pride in this milestone,“
noted Bernhard Matzner.
„We value our long standing relationship
with Airbus on this subcontract
program. All FACC employees
recognize its importance to the
company and our customer. The
good relationship with Airbus and
the excellent cooperation within the
FACC organization are responsible
for ensuring that the project has always
run smoothly over the year.”
The Ram Air Inlet is part of
the environmental control system,
which provides air supply, thermal
control and cabin pressurization for
the passengers. The Ram Air Inlet
is located on the wing-to-body fairing
and controls the air temperature
by providing cold air fl ow from outside
to be mixed with the hot bleed
air taken from the engine.
FACC is a supplier of the Ram
Air Inlet for the basic A320 model
as well as the A318, A319, and A321
models. In addition to the Ram Air
Inlet, FACC also produces various
engine nacelle components and
cabin elements for the A320 family.
