Honeywell and Asia Pacific Aircraft Component Services (APACS) have announced additional Honeywell licences at MRO Asia-Pacific 2023 that have been awarded to APACS.
The companies say the licenses allow APACS to perform repair activities on Honeywell’s Air Data Inertial Reference Unit (ADIRU) and Pre-Cooler Control Valve (PCCV) products. In addition, associated material supply opportunities are also being explored.
According to Honeywell, 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.
The licenses include a 10-year programme that enables APACS to perform repairs on Honeywell ADIRU products for Airbus aircraft, as well as a license for a seven-year repair and material supply programme for APACS to perform repair activities for Honeywell PCCV products utilised in Boeing 737 aircraft.
Eric Ai, Vice President, Airlines, Asia Pacific, Honeywell Aerospace said: “We are thrilled about this extended partnership with APACS. 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.”
Wong Yue Jeen, Chairman of the Board, APACS commented: “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. With our extensive market reach and Honeywell’s high-quality products, we anticipate significant synergies and opportunities ahead.”
