AMETEK MRO brand Muirhead Avionics will be providing repairs and ongoing support for Honeywell’s cockpit displays, control displays and display computers for ERJ 140/145/135/Legacy aircraft.
The company says the 10-year agreement is globally exclusive and will commence immediately, with customers shipping all units to Muirhead Avionics’ specialist facility near London Heathrow airport which has OEM-quality standards and prompt turnaround-times commensurate with a repair partnership of this calibre.
Steve Wells, Managing Director of Muirhead Avionics, said: “This agreement reinforces our long-term relationship with Honeywell and will expand our repair business in the displays sector. They have confidence in our OEM-trained technicians and our extensive history of customer support.”
According to Zdenek Hrdlicka, Customer Business Manager at Honeywell International, the agreement with Muirhead Avionics will ensure a seamless transition of repair services.
He said: “We seek legacy expertise that can deliver high value-added repair support for our Embraer customers. They expect the best. Muirhead Avionics’ OEM-approved facilities and expertise have a worldwide reputation – they speak our language.”
Wells added: “An important factor in Honeywell’s decision to choose Muirhead Avionics was the global service we can provide in Europe and Asia. This means they can maintain their worldwide support for Embraer knowing they have our commitment to underwrite and sustain OEM quality across all repair and overhaul programmes.
“Across the AMETEK MRO organisation, we are seeing new opportunities with larger OEMs. It is a trend we anticipate will grow as the aviation industry recovers and OEMs embrace and promote new technologies.”
