Honeywell has extended its agreements with GoAir, for the installation and maintenance of 131-9A Auxiliary Power Units (APU) on ten more of the airline's new Airbus A320 aircraft to provide auxiliary power and reduced operational costs. The agreement builds on the company's existing ten-unit APU contract with GoAir, and puts it in charge of APU maintenance across the entire GoAir A320 fleet until 2018.
Honeywell will install the new APUs between 2012 and 2014. Designed specifically to match the requirements of narrow body air transport aircraft like the Airbus A319, A320 and A321, Honeywell's 131-9A Series APU will save GoAir up to 3.4 per cent fuel burn and provide a 10 per cent power advantage over other APUs, allowing it to cool or heat the cabin two minutes faster.
