We are the South Pacific’s Jetway agents for Jetaire’s top quality Preconditioned Air units which we offer as complementary products to our PBBs and 400HZ. These units deliver the best in direct expansion, vapour cycle, point-of-use air-conditioning technology and techniques.

As a reliable, cost-effective alternative to noisy and expensive aircraft auxiliary power units, Jetaire units service all types of aircraft and are fully adaptable to boarding bridge, cart or stand mountings.

Available in a variety of configurations and sizes, these units offer flexibility, adaptability, economy and simplicity:

Flexibility: Meeting the needs of any sized aircraft anywhere in the world, the point-of-use Jetaire units come in sizes ranging from 20T refrigeration ton commuter modes to 120T refrigeration ton units. They can be sized and configured to cool or heat all sizes of aircraft, including the A380, in any climatic condition.

Adaptability: The all-electric Jetaire units operate on 380 to 480 volt power at either 50 or 60 Hz. They are fully adjustable and self-regulating and can be equipped with PLC controls for greater control, regulation and airflow.

Economy: When used in conjunction with JetPower 400 Hertz converters, these Jetaire units allow for the complete shutdown of the aircraft auxiliary power unit while the aircraft is parked at the gate. The resulting fuel and maintenance savings allows for a very short payback and significant revenue opportunities.

Simplicity: The Jetaire units provides aircraft with air-conditioning without the costs and inflexibilities of central or in-ground systems. Using Jetaire mounted on the passenger boarding bridge, each gate benefits from conditioned air without the need for expensive central chiller facilities, dedicated air-conditioning rooms, extensive piping and valve systems, multiple air handling units, telescoping air ducts and a high installation cost.

We have supplied Jetaire Preconditioned Air units to Sydney, Auckland, Melbourne and Cairns airports. Sydney Airport’s international terminals (T1 and T2) have 28 of our 100T PCA units installed as both aerobridge and ground-mounted installations. We also sourced automatic hose reelers for the PCA hose resulting in less manual handling in the deployment / stowage of the hose and better hose management meaning less wear and tear.

We also stock spare parts including ducting and aircraft couplings for preconditioned air systems suitable for all PCA units, not just JBT units. Contact us for spare parts.
