Honeywell and Vietjet Air have signed a five-year agreement for the maintenance of Honeywell’s 331-350 Auxiliary Power Units (APUs) on Vietjet’s fleet of A330 aircraft.
Announced at the Paris Air Show, this agreement covers 30 widebody aircraft and builds on Honeywell’s existing maintenance support for the Vietnamese carrier's A330 fleet.
“Honeywell’s advanced APU technology and global service expertise have consistently delivered performance and reliability,” said Vietjet’s chief executive officer, Dinh Viet Phuong. “This expanded partnership reaffirms our confidence in Honeywell as a trusted partner in scaling our widebody operations and delivering cost-efficient service across our network.”
The agreement comes at a time when Vietjet is drastically scaling up its Airbus fleet, placing orders for 20 A330neo aircraft in May and most recently signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) at the Paris Air Show with Airbus for 100 A321neo aircraft with 50 options.
