Goodrich to support Singapore Airlines` A380 charity flight
Charlotte, North Carolina, (ANTARA News/PRNewswire-AsiaNet) - Goodrich Corporation (NYSE: GR) will support the charitable activity surrounding the first commercial flight of Singapore Airlines' A380 aircraft by waiving its service charges for the flight and donating the equivalent sum of money to designated charitable organizations.
These organizations include: Singapore's Community Chest, Sydney Children's Hospital Randwick, The Children's Hospital at Westmead (Sydney) and Doctors Without Borders.
In August, Singapore Airlines announced its plan to auction seats on the historic first flight, which will run from Singapore to Sydney and back, and donate funds from the auction to charities in both Sydney and Singapore. As a key business partner of Singapore Airlines and the A380 program, Goodrich welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the event.
According to Paul Snyder, President Goodrich Customer Services, "We are honored to be a part of the A380 program with Singapore Airlines and are proud to support the A380 charity flight. We've worked closely with Singapore Airlines to develop a unique support offering for their fleet of A380 aircraft and are delighted to be a part of this charitable first flight initiative."
In July 2007, Singapore Airlines chose Goodrich to provide asset management services, including component and system maintenance and technical support, for the airline's fleet of 19 A380 aircraft.
The long-term agreement covers Goodrich-produced technology ranging from primary and secondary flight controls to sensors and evacuation systems. Goodrich is a major supplier of systems and equipment on the A380.
Singapore Airlines' A380 charity flight is scheduled for 25 October 2007.
