Aircraft components manufactured, supported and repaired by Honeywell include avionics and mechanical parts.

"One of our goals is to increase the lifespan of Honeywell aircraft components and reduce airline operating costs," said Randy Anderson, president, Aerospace – Europe Middle East, Africa and India, Honeywell Aerospace. "With our 24/7 aircraft on-the-ground support and 24-hour critical shipment of Honeywell avionics and mechanical parts, Emirates can benefit from a significant reduction in departure delays and cancelations, which will help Emirates' commitment to on-time arrivals."
