IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Thomas Global Systems and Collins Aerospace, an RTX business, have announced a strategic partnership to deliver long-term product support for Collins’ Pro Line 4 Electronic Flight Displays (EFD), ensuring continued reliable service for customers worldwide.

Under this new supply agreement, Collins will transition EFD-4076 and EFD-4077 maintenance and repair support responsibilities to Thomas Global Systems. Thomas Global’s TFD-4000 and TFD-4100 replacement liquid crystal display (LCD) based units will be available to Collins customers, addressing cathode ray tube (CRT) obsolescence while also providing weight reductions and enhanced reliability.

“We are pleased to be working together with Collins to provide dependable long-term support for these Pro Line 4 display products,” said Angus Hutchinson, CEO of Thomas Global Systems. “This collaboration reflects our commitment to extending the life of legacy avionics systems and delivering exceptional service.”

While Collins works with its customers for other feature-based upgrades, this partnership provides a path for Pro Line 4 operators looking for an option to continue legacy EFD support.
