- Enhanced aircraft availability: Minimized downtime ensures higher operational efficiency.
- Improved passenger comfort: Reliable APU performance contributes to a comfortable passenger experience.
This agreement builds upon Honeywell's 30-year relationship with Air India and reinforces the company's position as a leading provider of auxiliary power solutions for the aviation industry.
