Extended Contract for Eaton’s Hydraulic Power Generation Service Program

01.07.2005

Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation's aerospace business has been awarded a five-year extension by Continental Airlines to a 10-year cost per flight hour (CPH) retrofit and maintenance program.

Under the CPH program, originally launched in 2002, Eaton will retrofit hydraulic power generation equipment currently fitted on Continental's fleet of 364 aircraft with Eaton Vickers® brand engine-driven and electric motor-driven hydraulic pumps.

Following completion of the retrofit program, Eaton will also provide maintenance service for the remaining terms of the 15-year agreement under the new contract. In addition, all future new aircraft deliveries to Continental will be configured with Eaton power generation equipment.

Continental's decision to select Eaton for their aircraft fleet's power generation equipment reflects the airline's continuing efforts to maintain a high level of on-time performance and reduce overall operational costs.
