Honeywell announced at the Dubai Airshow 2017 signing Lufthansa Technik (LHT, Stand 1156) as a licensed component repair center and exclusive global asset provider for all Honeywell components and the HGT 1700 APU on the Airbus A350. The agreement extends LHT’s longstanding relationship as a Honeywell-licensed repair facility for mechanical, avionics components and hydromechanical units. Since the A350’s entry into service in late 2014, Germany’s LHT has managed six in-service A350 fleets totaling more than 50 jets.

“Lufthansa Technik has a winning combination of technology and expertise to offer an unparalleled customer experience,” said David Shilliday, Honeywell’s v-p airlines for Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India.

As Honeywell’s aircraft on ground (AOG) service provider, LHT can provide A350 operators with immediate one-phone-call access to exchanges and rental assets via its global logistics footprint, said the German MRO company.
