Air China has extended its relationship with
Honeywell Aerospace with a range of agreements covering avionics
and wheels and brakes.
With an increasing number of aircraft filling
the skies, pilots need critical flight-related data, including
weather and traffic conditions, delivered in real time to help
make vital decisions during the flight.
Honeywell’s avionics suite
will be deployed in Air China’s brand-new fleet of 19 Boeing
777-300ER aircraft, providing pilots with improved situational
awareness to help keep aircraft on course and optimize navigation
and routing for improved fuel efficiency.
The Honeywell avionics suite includes IntuVue
3-D, an advanced weather system that provides pilots with a more
complete picture of weather conditions than current
two-dimensional (2-D) systems. As a lighter and more reliable
solution, IntuVue will help Air China reduce costs and increase
operational efficiency. The agreement also includes:
- SATCOM with SwiftBroadband
- Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System
(TCAS) with Mode S transponders
- Flight Data Recorders (FDR) and Cockpit Voice
Recorders (CVR)
Innovative Landing System Technologies Provide
Improved Performance, Reduced Maintenance Costs and Excellent
Maintainability Air China has also selected Honeywell to provide
wheels and steel brakes for its purchase and lease of Boeing 737NG
aircraft over the next 10 years.
“As the country’s flagship carrier, leading the
way in fleet operational efficiency and safety is of paramount
importance to Air China,” said Briand Greer, president of
Honeywell Aerospace Asia Pacific. “These agreements underscore the
the long-standing partnership between Honeywell and Air China, and
ensure that the carrier is able to maximize performance, lower
operating costs and ultimately deliver an improved passenger
experience.”
