There are many things to worry about when you’re getting ready to travel—are you going to get stuck in a middle seat? Will there be enough overhead room for your luggage? Will the weather cooperate or will your flight be delayed? Are there going to be crying babies on board so you don’t get a moment of rest? What you don’t have to worry about is whether or not the airplane itself is safe for flying. That’s because there is a whole team of people who worry about that, including, but not limited to:

TSA: It is their job to ensure no contraband is allowed on board. If you’ve flown recently you’re well aware of how strict the rules are of what you can and cannot bring on planes these days.

Aircraft mechanics and service technicians: These are the people that check the flight before you get on to ensure that all the parts are working correctly.

On-board crew:  This team is in charge of ensuring all of your in-flight needs are met and that you get to your destination safely.

What you may not consider is that Loos & Company is also part of that team. Before the technicians even get the chance to inspect the aircraft, Loos & Company has manufactured the highest quality cable, wire rope, and cable assemblies for the aircrafts. It is our job to ensure that all parts that leave our warehouse are fully certified to meet the needs of the applications they will be used in.

So next time you get on an airplane, you may stop and think, “I wonder if there are Loos & Company’s products on this flight?” And the answer is—YES!

Don’t forget—if you are attending the Farnborough International Airshow this year, Loos & Company will be exhibiting in the Florida Enterprise pavilion in Hall 4/F13 and 4/F15. Stop by our booth and talk to one of our team members to learn more about how our products are used in flight control and aviation.
