23 July 2020: Honeywell has appointed Sabena technics and Singapore Component Solutions as their Global Channel Partners as a part of their expansion policy of the existing relation with Sabena technics. As a part of this contract, they will provide repair and upgrades for Honeywell’s Air Cycle Machine on ATR 42 and 72 twin-engine turboprop, short-haul regional airliners to its latest standards. Singapore Component Solutions is a joint venture between Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance and Sabena technics.
Honeywell’s Air Cycle Machine is key to air flow in aircraft and improving cabin air temperature, resulting in a better customer experience. Any failures on the Air Cycle Machine can result in significant passenger discomfort due to a warmer cabin and lead to aircraft delays.
Honeywell’s new Air Cycle Machine has an estimated 30 per cent reliability improvement. This will reduce operating costs through fuel efficiencies, avoidance of flight route restrictions and incidental costs from customer dissatisfaction. The system also allows for better air flow in the cabin and cockpit.
Sabena technics is an independent provider of MRO and is primarily licensed for mechanical and avionics component repair for Honeywell.
