The UBS Pre-Conditioned Air (PCA) unit delivers temperature-controlled air directly to the aircraft cabin, maintaining a comfortable environment for passengers and crew before and after flights. By supplying conditioned air from a ground source, the PCA unit reduces the aircraft's reliance on its APU, leading to substantial fuel savings and a significant reduction in noise and air pollution on the apron.
