Honeywell Aerospace has strengthened its authorized service center network in Asia Pacific through an agreement with Bombardier Aerospace’s Singapore Service Centre.

As part of the agreement, Bombardier’s newest wholly-owned maintenance facility will offer retrofit, modification and upgrade (RMU) services for Honeywell products to Bombardier business jet operators in the region.

The expansion of support for Bombardier aircraft in Asia Pacific means operators in the region will save time, and see lower operational costs as a result of reduced fuel consumption. Logistical arrangements will also decrease since operators will no longer have to leave Singapore for complex avionics upgrades.

“As the Asia Pacific business aviation market grows, there is an increased need to provide aftermarket support to our Bombardier aircraft operators,” said Andy Gill, senior director, Asia Pacific, Business & General Aviation, Honeywell Aerospace. “This expanded collaboration with Bombardier’s Singapore facility will allow us to offer customers better support and greater access to services, driving down operational costs now and in the future.”

Asia Pacific business jet fleets have been growing at double-digit percentage rates throughout the past five years. According to Honeywell’s 2013 Global Business Aviation Outlook, continued long-term growth is expected for the region, making increased services and support vital to aircraft owners in this market.

“We continue to expand our support of our aircraft utilizing Honeywell products and services in Asia Pacific so that operators have the ability to easily make upgrades to their aircraft at all times,” said Stan Younger, vice president, Bombardier Aircraft Service Centres. “Our Singapore facility has very quickly ramped up to provide an extremely broad range of services. Our facility has received extensive certifications from international authorities, and the agreement with Honeywell brings further value and convenience to our customers.”

The RMU services will cater to approximately 150 existing and new Bombardier-manufactured business jets across the region, including the following aircraft types: Global Express, Global Express XRS, Learjet 75 and Challenger series aircraft. Customers will be able to take advantage of the following upgrades:

- Primus Elite 875 cockpit display upgrade to liquid crystal display from cathode ray tube

-Flight Management System Service Bulletin upgrades incorporating three major enhancements: Future Air Navigation System (FANS), Wide Area Augmentation System- ocalizer Performance with Vertical Guidance (WAAS LPV) and Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B)

-Satellite Communication Inflight Voice and Data Solutions ranging from Inmarsat Aero H and Aero H+ to Iridium
