KUALA LUMPUR, May 9 (Bernama) — Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON) and MYAirline today announced their first Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) maintenance contract on the airline’s fleet of Airbus A320 aircraft. Effective immediately, MYAirline will receive Honeywell’s excellent APU maintenance services for its 131-9A APUs, to support continuous operational uptime, flight safety and reliability for its fleet of 22 aircraft.
APUs are critical for service-readiness as they ensure passenger comfort and supply the air source before the pilot starts the main engines. The Honeywell 131-9A APU is known for its high performance and reliability, and lower maintenance costs that results in significant fuel savings. As the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the 131-9A APUs, Honeywell will help MYAirline reduce flight delays and cancellations with annual maintenance cost plans and predictive trend monitoring programs.
