Kunpeng, which took delivery of its first ERJ-190 in September, expects a total of 50 aircraft over the next four years. "Honeywell's extensive network of service centers ensures we can repair units and return them to service efficiently," Madsen added
The company also reached agreement with China Eastern Airlines to supply its 131-9A APU featuring main engine starting, electrical power and air conditioning capacity for 30 forthcoming A320s. The APU entered service in 1998 and is currently in use on more than 1,400 aircraft by 90 customers.
"Technology incorporated into Honeywell's APU reduces fuel consumption by more than 5%, reducing emissions and total cost of ownership over other APUs in the field," Madsen emphasized. "These benefits are expected to provide China Eastern more than $300,000 per year in fuel savings."
The contact includes a 10-year maintenance agreement to service the APUs and covers additional A320 single-aisle planes scheduled for delivery over the next three years. Financial terms were not disclosed.
