SINGAPORE—Chinese MRO provider Ameco has signed numerous maintenance services deals at the Zhuhai Airshow, including with Honeywell and Collins Aerospace to support Air China’s fleet. 

The MOU with Honeywell will see Beijing-based Ameco attain repair capabilities for the HGT1700 APU installed on Air China’s Airbus 350-900s. Already certified for 131-9A, 131-9B, 331-350 and 331-500 APUs, the MRO will expand its services for the GTCP85-129 APU found on Boeing 737-300/400/500s aircraft.
