Honeywell Inks Avionics Deal with China Eastern Airlines

US aerospace technologies provider Honeywell Aerospace (NYSE: HON) said it has extended its strategic partnership with PRC-based carrier China Eastern Airlines, signing several agreements to increase the safety, efficiency and performance of its growing fleet of aircraft.

Through these agreements, Honeywell said it will provide a range of avionics products for 58 new Boeing (NYSE: BA) 737NG aircraft, scheduled to be delivered over the next five years. Honeywell said it will also provide wheels and brakes for 15 new Airbus A330 aircraft. This would bring the total number of Airbus A330 aircraft in China Eastern Airlines' fleet equipped with Honeywell wheels and brakes to 51 by 2015. The Honeywell avionics products that will be installed on China Eastern 's new Boeing 737NG aircraft include weather radar, traffic alert and collision avoidance systems and anenhanced ground proximity warning system. With these avionics installations, China Eastern Airlines will have an advanced 737NG platform that enables flight crews to maximize safety and comfort for their passengers while reducing costs, fuel burn and carbon emissions during flight, Honeywell said. China Eastern Airlines has also chosen Honeywell's aircraft landing systems for its fleet of Airbus A330 aircraft. The agreement will provide a suite of aftermarket repair and maintenance programs for the braking systems through Honeywell's joint venture with China Eastern Airlines and backed by Honeywell's award-winning engineering and customer and product support network.
