Air China has further expanded its partnership with Honeywell Aerospace with a range of agreements that cover avionics and wheels and brakes.

 

Honeywell’s avionics suite will be deployed in Air China’s brand-new fleet of 19 Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, providing pilots with improved situational awareness to help keep aircraft on course and optimize navigation and routing for improved fuel efficiency.

 

The Honeywell avionics suite includes IntuVue 3-D, an advanced weather system that provides pilots with a more complete picture of weather conditions than current two-dimensional (2-D) systems. As a lighter and more reliable solution, IntuVue will help Air China reduce costs and increase operational efficiency. The agreement also includes:

 

- SATCOM with SwiftBroadband

 

- Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) with Mode S transponders

 

- Flight Data Recorders (FDR) and Cockpit Voice Recorders (CVR)

 

Innovative Landing System Technologies Provide Improved Performance, Reduced Maintenance Costs and Excellent Maintainability Air China has also selected Honeywell to provide wheels and steel brakes for its purchase and lease of Boeing 737NG aircraft over the next 10 years.
