Honeywell enhances power unit assistance for Philippine Airlines

In a significant move, Honeywell has expanded its aftermarket support for Philippine Airlines (PAL), providing multi-year repair and overhaul services for the airline's auxiliary power units (APUs) on its widebody fleet. This collaboration underscores Honeywell's role as a trusted technology partner in the region and reinforces PAL's position as a leading carrier in the Asia-Pacific region.

The two-year agreement, covering Honeywell-made 331-350 APUs used on Airbus A330 aircraft and 331-500 APUs on Boeing 777 aircraft, aims to ensure PAL can continue delivering dependable, cost-effective services. This expansion builds on an existing arrangement that already supports the 131-9A APUs powering PAL's Airbus A320 fleet.

Honeywell's advanced APU technology and aftermarket expertise will help enhance performance and ensure operational continuity for PAL's widebody fleet. Eric Ai, Vice President for Airlines in the Asia Pacific region at Honeywell Aerospace, stated that the collaboration reflects both companies' commitment to growth and operational excellence.

Founded in 1941, Asia's first commercial airline serves destinations across Asia, North America, and beyond. PAL operates a diverse fleet, including Airbus A321, A330, Airbus A350, and Boeing 777 aircraft. The new support from Honeywell is expected to benefit all these aircraft models.

The new agreement does not specify any financial details or penalties for non-compliance, and it does not mention any potential impact on other airlines or Honeywell's global operations. However, this move marks a deepening of the long-standing relationship between Honeywell and PAL, with the aim of helping PAL maintain operational excellence.

The search results do not contain information about the exact time period during which Honeywell provided repair and overhaul services for the Auxiliary Power Units of Philippine Airlines. Under the new agreement, Honeywell will deliver comprehensive repair and overhaul services for these additional APU models over the next two years.

This collaboration is a testament to Honeywell's commitment to providing innovative solutions and services to the aviation industry, further strengthening its position as a global leader in aerospace technology.
