Honeywell has announced the expansion of its aftermarket support for Philippine Airlines (PAL), providing multi-year repair and overhaul services for the airline’s auxiliary power units (APUs). The agreement covers Honeywell-made 331-350 APUs used on Airbus A330 aircraft and 331-500 APUs on Boeing 777 aircraft.
This expanded collaboration builds on an existing arrangement that already supports the 131-9A APUs powering PAL’s Airbus A320 fleet. Under the new agreement, Honeywell will deliver comprehensive repair and overhaul services for these additional APU models over the next two years. This move marks a deepening of the long-standing relationship between the two companies and underscores their shared focus on operational reliability and efficiency.
Eric Ai, Vice President for Airlines in the Asia Pacific region at Honeywell Aerospace, said the collaboration reflects both companies’ commitment to growth and operational excellence. He emphasised that Honeywell’s advanced APU technology and aftermarket expertise would help enhance performance and ensure operational continuity for PAL’s widebody fleet, reinforcing Honeywell’s role as a trusted technology partner in the region.
Founded in 1941, Philippine Airlines is Asia’s first commercial airline and operates a diverse fleet, including Airbus A321, A330, Airbus A350 and Boeing 777 aircraft. It serves destinations across Asia, North America, and beyond. With this expanded support, Honeywell aims to ensure that PAL can continue delivering dependable, cost-effective services while maintaining operational excellence, reinforcing the airline’s position as a leading carrier in the Asia-Pacific region.
