ARI’s aircraft recycling platforms, UAM in the U.S. and CADC in Harbin, can service global demand for mid-to-late life aircraft asset management.”
Honeywell Aerospace Asia Pacific president, Steven Lien, said: “There are big opportunities in the region’s MRO market, which is expected to grow at six per cent a year. In the Asia-Pacific, Honeywell has seven aftermarket service sites. By partnering with ARI, Honeywell is improving our operating and repair capabilities to provide local customers with better support.
There is surging demand for fleet MRO in China and the trend is expected to continue, said ARI. Combined with UAM, a leading U.S. global aviation service provider that ARI acquired in March, CADC in Harbin will soon commence operations as a global platform for mid-to-old life aircraft solutions.
Honeywell is a Fortune 100 company that provides products and services for commercial, defence and space aircraft.
