Designed for commercial and military aircraft ground cooling/heating operations, our PCA (Pre-Conditioned Air) hoses deliver extreme durability with fireproof PVC/Hypalon fabrics, steel-wire reinforcement, and abrasion-resistant strips. Engineered to withstand airport UV exposure, jet fuel, and -25°C to 80°C temperatures – ensuring safe, efficient airflow delivery from GSE units to aircraft cabins.
Maximize aircraft turnaround efficiency with industry-leading PCA hoses for airplane ground support. Featuring heavy-duty YKK zippers, military-spec stitching, and optional thermal insulation layers, these ducts are the definitive solution for airports demanding flame-resistant , waterproof, and corrosion-proof air transfer. Custom-engineered diameters (8” to 14”) ensure compatibility with all major aircraft types.

1. Aviation industry: PCA hoses are primarily used to supply pre-conditioned air to the cabin when the aircraft is docked, improving passenger comfort and maintaining cabin air quality. During the aircraft's ground stay, the PCA system helps regulate temperature and humidity.
2. Airport Ground Services: Airport ground service companies use PCA hoses to provide ventilation and climate control for parked aircraft, ensuring that the cabin maintains an appropriate temperature before takeoff.
3. Aircraft Maintenance and Repair Industry: PCA hoses are also used during aircraft maintenance and servicing to provide fresh air and regulate environmental conditions at the maintenance site.
4. Freight and Logistics Industry: In certain cases, PCA hoses are also used on freight flights, particularly to protect temperature-sensitive cargo.
5. Aircraft Hangar and Apron Management: In areas where aircraft are parked and stored, PCA hoses are used to manage climate conditions, ensuring suitable environmental conditions inside and outside the hangar.
6. Environmental protection and energy conservation industry: PCA systems help reduce the time aircraft spend running their engines on the ground, thereby reducing emissions and noise, which has a positive impact on environmental protection and energy conservation.
The use of PCA hoses is primarily focused on ensuring safety and comfort during aircraft ground operations, making them closely related to the aviation transportation and related services industry.
