SINGAPORE, Feb. 2, 2010 -- Honeywell (NYSE: HON) announced today that
Jeju Air will replace the wheels and brakes on its Boeing 737 aircraft with
Honeywell wheels and steel brakes. The terms of the contract were not
disclosed.
“The Honeywell wheels and brakes solution will reduce Jeju Air’s operating
costs and increase reliability and performance,” said Mike Madsen, vice
president of Airlines at Honeywell Aerospace. “Honeywell Cerametalix® brakes
have been selected by more than 100 airlines for their low operational costs,
high reliability, and worldwide service and support.”
Honeywell’s Cerametalix brakes and wheels average three million landings a
year, and are particularly well suited for quick-turn applications due to their
superior heat rejection capability.
As part of the agreement, Honeywell will provide spares to Jeju Air for up to
15 Boeing 737 aircraft. Deliveries started in late 2009.
