Burner was selected based on its ability to meet strict specifications, as well as an accelerated manufacturing and delivery timeline – 45 days compared to several months quoted by other companies.
Burner’s fire equipment division manager Chris Lacombe said that meeting an accelerated delivery on such a large order presented several challenges.
“We basically had to complete the entire engineering and design phase in one day, versus typically taking a week or so,” he said.

Lacombe said that to get the systems on the plane in the allotted time they would be fitting eight or nine weeks of work into six weeks.
