Saudia partners with Honeywell to boost maintenance services

Saudi Arabian Airlines (Saudia) has signed an agreement with Honeywell to extend maintenance services for auxiliary power units (APUs) installed on the airline’s fleet of Airbus A330 and Boeing 777.

The two companies are extending their current partnership, which will enable Saudia to structure their fleet and APU maintenance planning in line with the needs of their fleet expansion program.

“By extending our APU maintenance agreement with Honeywell, we will continue to enhance our maintenance scheduling program, supporting our commitment to deliver a timely, reliable, efficient and comfortable service for our passengers,” Captain Ibrahim Koshy, Chief Operations Officer of Saudi Arabian Airlines, said.

With this agreement, Saudia will distribute its APU maintenance needs between Honeywell’s Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facility in Raunheim, Germany, and Saudia Aerospace Engineering Industries’ (SAEI) Jet Propulsion Center in Jeddah.
