UK Company to Assume Service for Legacy Honeywell Avionics
Muirhead Avionics has announced a 10-year agreement that will see them become the exclusive support company for all Honeywell cockpit, control, and displays for ERJ 140/145/135/Legacy aircraft.
The Ametek MRO subsidiary will be the sole global repair specialist, requiring that customers ship all units to the Muirhead Avionics facility near London Heathrow airport for service. In their statement publicizing the deal, they promise OEM-quality standards and prompt turnaround times, "commensurate with a repair partnership of this caliber."
Honeywell International says that the agreement will allow a seamless transition of repair services for the aging avionics. Zdenek Hrdlicka, customer business manager for the brand, reaffirmed wary customers that the agreement would still provide the same level of service expected. “We seek legacy expertise that can deliver high value-added repair support for our Embraer customers; they expect the best. Muirhead Avionics’ OEM-approved facilities and expertise have a worldwide reputation – they speak our language.”
“An important factor in Honeywell’s decision to choose Muirhead Avionics was the global service we can provide in Europe and Asia,” said Muirhead's managing director, Steve Wells. “This means they can maintain their worldwide support for Embraer knowing they have our commitment to underwrite and sustain OEM quality across all repair and overhaul programs."
Well said that the agreement will be something the industry at large will find common in coming years. "Across the AMETEK MRO organization, we are seeing new opportunities with larger OEMs,” he said. “It is a trend we anticipate will grow as the aviation industry recovers and OEMs embrace and promote new technologies.”
