Honeywell has confirmed United Arab Emirates-based Falcon Aviation Services as a member of its global channel partner network. The agreement covers the sale, installation and service of Honeywell avionics for Middle East-based helicopter operators.
The arrangement between the two companies will augment the avionics service and upgrade options available to regional helicopter operators by offering a more localized repair and installation for Honeywell equipment at Falcon Aviation Services' Abu Dhabi-based facilities. This will allow faster turnaround time for maintenance, repair and overhaul activities, which in turn can reduce helicopter downtime.
There are currently 1,536 government or military-owned helicopters in operation in the Middle East, with an additional 202 commercial helicopters in private ownership across the region. The channel partnership between Falcon Aviation Services and Honeywell will see an improvement to the services available to these operators.
Honeywell's Channel Partner Program offers a concierge-level service to its members, including dedicated sales and marketing support, exclusive access to technical experts, tailored product training, and other incentives, including integration and installation of Honeywell's latest technologies.
