Honeywell is partnering with China Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Co (CAMECO), an approved China Civil Aviation Regulations Part 135, 145 and 147 company, to improve aircraft dismantlement processes and make certified, preowned parts more readily available through its Honeywell Aerospace Trading (HAT) division.

“We are committed to being the outstanding service provider of aircraft maintenance, refitting and engineering,” says CAMECO CEO Bing Long Shen. “This partnership will help us achieve greater business development overseas through its strong global distribution network.”

HAT provides certified, preowned parts for a wide variety of aircraft, including both Honeywell and other manufacturers' products. According to the dismantling service agreement and the part purchase frame agreement that have been signed, the division will obtain tear-down services and will be able to purchase parts from CAMECO.

Honeywell's extensive global supply chain network will bring more aircraft dismantlement opportunities to CAMECO, and HAT's global network will also increase its parts-selling business. The partnership will also benefit customers, allowing them to have immediate access to the right parts at an affordable price, so that operators can keep their aircraft in service for better profitability.

“This is a significant milestone on strengthening our partnerships in the Asia Pacific region, which is a growing market with huge potential,” adds Honeywell APAC vice president, airlines Andrew Wong. “CAMECO is the ideal partner to help us strengthen our maintenance, repair and overhaul capabilities through providing affordable, serviceable parts to our customers.”
