GOL Airlines selects Rockwell Collins to provide data link system and multi-mode receiver for its Boeing 737 fleet

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – Brazil's GOL Airlines has selected Rockwell Collins to provide CMU-900 Communications Management Unit (CMU) for its fleet of Boeing 737NG airplanes. In addition, the airplanes will also be equipped with the company's advanced GLU-925 Multi-Mode Receiver (MMR). Deliveries will begin in early 2010.

"GOL's standards of safety, comfort and affordability for their passengers, as well as the need to equip their fleet for an evolving future airspace were, key factors in selecting Rockwell Collins for data link and MMR capabilities," said Jeff Standerski, vice president and general manager of Air Transport Systems for Rockwell Collins. "These are smart investments that will provide operators the advanced functionality and proven technology that will help GOL's fleet perform at its best now and for years to come."

The CMU-900 enables state-of-the-art digital communications between aircraft systems, pilots, airlines IT infrastructure, and various operations control functions. This enhances an airline's ability to more effectively communicate and manage airline operations.

The CMU-900 also will be certified in January 2011 for the European Link 2000+ Protected Mode ATN CPDLC mandate which begins in January 2011. The CMU-900 was the first communications management unit to participate in the European Link 2000+ Controller to Pilot Data link Communications (CPDLC) trials, which validated the use of advanced digital communications for Air Traffic Control communications.

The advanced GLU-925 Multi-Mode Receiver is the first MMR certified for precision landing using either Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) or Instrument Landing Systems (ILS). The GLU-925 is the primary navigation sensor for all phases of flight, including the stringent Required Navigation Performance (RNP) requirement of 0.1 n.m.

Rezidor announces the Radisson Blu Hotel, Uppsala / Sweden

The Rezidor Hotel Group, one of the fastest growing hotel companies worldwide, announces the Radisson Blu Hotel, Uppsala in Sweden. The property featuring 176 rooms is scheduled to open in 2012. 'We are delighted to introduce this project in cooperation with our long-term partner Winn Hotel Group. The Radisson Blu Hotel, Uppsala will further strengthen our first class core brand Radisson Blu in our home market Sweden', comments Kurt Ritter, President & CEO of Rezidor. 'With our new Radisson Blu property we will fill a gap in the local hotel market and contribute to Uppsala's development as a destination for both business and leisure travellers', adds Anders Junger, President & CEO of Winn Hotel Group, owner of the property.

The Radisson Blu Hotel, Uppsala will benefit from a prime location next to the city's main train station – offering easy access to the city centre, Uppsala Concert Hall and Congress Centre. All 176 guest rooms will show the modern and contemporary design Radisson Blu is internationally known for, and will be equipped with Radisson signature services such as free high speed internet access. The hotel will also offer a restaurant, a lounge, 5 meeting rooms and a fitness room.

Uppsala, where Winn Hotel Group already operates a Park Inn hotel, has a population of 190,000 and a strong commercial base – it is best known for medical research and biotechnology. Uppsala is home to Scandinavia's oldest university; the campus for 40,000 students is just 1 km away from the new hotel. Town and area are well connected to the airport Stockholm-Arlanda; the short transfer by train takes 20 minutes only.

Rezidor's most famous brand Radisson Blu Hotels & Resorts was formerly known as Radisson SAS Hotels & Resorts. Following Rezidor's IPO in November 2006, the brand has been renamed in 2009 – preserving the graphic and iconic 'blue box', but adding the new name 'Blu' which reflects the contemporary style of the chain, its sense for modern architecture and design, and unique twist. 'Radisson Blu preserves our tradition, and looks at the same time towards the future', concludes Kurt Ritter.

About The Rezidor Hotel Group

The Rezidor Hotel Group is one of the fastest growing hotel companies in the world. The group features a portfolio of more than 380 hotels in operation and under development with 81,700 rooms in almost 60 countries.

Rezidor operates the brands Radisson Blu Hotels & Resorts, Regent Hotels & Resorts, Park Inn and Country Inns & Suites in Europe, Middle East and Africa, along with the goldpoints plusSM loyalty programme for frequent hotel guests. Under a worldwide licence agreement with the iconic Italian fashion house Missoni, Rezidor also operates and develops the new lifestyle brand Hotel Missoni.

In November 2006, Rezidor was listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange. Carlson Companies is the main shareholder.

The Corporate Office of the Rezidor Hotel Group is based in Brussels, Belgium.
