Aviall extends agreement with UTC Aerospace Systems to distribute Goodrich De-Ice Boots

DALLAS, July 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Aviall, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Boeing Company, extended its relationship with UTC Aerospace Systems by entering an agreement to act as exclusive stocking distributor of airframe pneumatic de-icer, de-ice system hardware and propeller de-ice product lines, including Goodrich FASTboot® and SILVERboot™ pneumatic de-icers.
