Asiana Airlines selects Honeywell's 131-9A Auxiliary Power Units for multiple aircraft

Honeywell has been selected by Asiana Airlines to supply the required power to start an aircraft’s main engines and run air conditioning while the plane is on the ground for a more comfortable passenger onboarding experience. With Honeywell’s auxiliary power units, Asiana Airlines can also improve operational performance and lower maintenance costs over the life cycle of its fleet to achieve significant fuel savings year over year. Honeywell will provide Asiana Airlines with a global network of maintenance services from its local customer support team based in South Korea, together with an established APU maintenance facility in Singapore that has a strong, longstanding relationship with Asiana Airlines. In March 2017, Airbus designated the Honeywell 131-9A APU as standard equipment for its A320 family of aircraft. Honeywell’s APU is now recognized as the gold standard for the A320 family.
