Honeywell to provide APU for Bahrain Air's fleet

Honeywell (NYSE: HON) announced today that it will provide Auxiliary Power Units (APU) and long-term APU maintenance for Bahrain Air’s Airbus A319/A320 single-aisle aircraft in a contract worth more than $5.5 million.

“Honeywell’s APU selection for Bahrain is the right choice to help this growing airline reduce maintenance and manage spares costs,” said Mike Madsen, Vice President of Airlines, Honeywell Aerospace. “Honeywell’s APU on-aircraft maintenance costs are up to 36 percent less than other APUs because of the simple design.”

This agreement covers 12 aircraft. Bahrain took delivery of the first APU in 2008 and deliveries will continue with six purchased aircraft through 2012.
