Honeywell Expands Partnership with Asia Pacific
Aircraft Component Services
(27/09/23)
Honeywell has reaffirmed its long-term
partnership with Asia Pacific Aircraft Component Services (APACS),
a subsidiary of SIA Engineering (SIAEC) and joint venture with SR
Technics Switzerland, by awarding the company with additional
licenses.
The first license encompasses a 10-year programme,
allowing APACS to perform repairs on Honeywell Air Data Inertial
Reference Unit (ADIRU) products for
Airbus aircraft. This complements the license granted to APACS
last year for Honeywell ADIRU products for Boeing aircraft.
The
second license is a seven-year repair and material supply
programme, which enables APACS to perform repair activities for
Honeywell Pre-Cooler Control Valve (PCCV) products utilised in Boeing 737 aircraft.
Both parties will also explore sales
opportunities for spare parts across various aircraft types.
“We are excited to strengthen our collaboration
with Honeywell, enhancing our capabilities, particularly in ADIRU
and PCCV repairs. This significant milestone underscores our
commitment to deliver superior aviation solutions and better
support the global aviation industry,” said Mr Wong Yue
Jeen, Chairman of the Board, APACS. “With our extensive market
reach and Honeywell's high-quality products, we anticipate
significant synergies and opportunities ahead.”
The ADIRU is a key component of the integrated Air
Data Inertial Reference System (ADIRS), which supplies air data
(airspeed, angle of attack and altitude) and inertial reference
(position and attitude) information to the pilots' electronic
flight instrument system displays as well as other systems such as
the engines, autopilot, aircraft flight control system and landing
gear systems.
The PCCV controls the amount of fan cooling air that
flows through the precooler, resulting in a controlled bleed air
outlet temperature.
“We are thrilled about this extended partnership
with APACS,” said Mr Eric Ai, Vice President,
Airlines, Asia Pacific, Honeywell Aerospace. “Our successful track
record of working with leading aerospace companies ensures that we
are well equipped to supply quality component parts and repair
services. We also look forward to opening new avenues of
collaboration in the future, to continue boosting APACS’
capabilities in servicing the civil aviation industry in the
region.”
