Honeywell's 75-year heritage of wheels and brakes development ensures C919 operators will receive long life, up to 2200 landings per overhaul, and high reliability from their wheels and brakes.

"Honeywell is a wheels and brakes leader in China and the Asia Pacific," said Pak Chin, Honeywell's Vice President for Asia Pacific Airlines, Honeywell Aerospace. "We currently supply wheels and brakes for more than 70% of Chinese airlines' existing Boeing 737 fleet. This contract will continue Honeywell's regional leadership on this product."

Honeywell operates 10 facilities throughout China, including Aerospace maintenance and manufacturing facilities in Xiamen, Nanjing, Suzhou, and Shanghai. The Asia Pacific business is based in Shanghai.

Honeywell is collaborating on the COMAC C919 pedal-to-ground solution with Hunan Boyun New Materials Co., Ltd., Changsha Xinhang Wheel & Brake Co., Ltd. A joint venture will be formed to provide the wheels and brakes system for the new C919 airliner.
