Honeywell will provide avionics repair and spares management services for Singapore Airlines’ fleet of 19 Airbus A380s under a 14-year contract announced today.
The airline began flying the world’s largest commercial passenger jet with its first delivered aircraft in October and has orders for 18 additional A380s.
Under the agreement, Honeywell will supply the carrier’s fleet of 19 A380s with spares and logistics management for maintenance services on Honeywell products, including the flight management system, satellite communication system, air data inertial reference system and aircraft environment surveillance system.
The environmental surveillance system includes Honeywell’s weather radar, traffic collision alert avoidance system, Mode S transponder, enhanced ground proximity warning systems and the aircraft’s secondary electric power distribution system.
“Honeywell’s integrated service solution reduces the need for Singapore Airlines to store, ship, track and forecast inventory,” said Mike Madsen, Honeywell’s vice-president of airlines. “The airline can spend more time flying.”
