SAEI, Honeywell celebrates repair of 100 APU at Jeddah centre:

28 February 2020: Senior representatives from Honeywell and Saudia Aerospace Engineering Industries (SAEI) came together at the recently concluded MRO Middle East in Dubai to celebrate the completion of 100 auxiliary power unit (APU) repairs from its Jet Propulsion centre in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

SAEI is the only Honeywell certified service centre in the Middle East region that provides MRO services on Honeywell's GTCP 331-500 and 331-350 APU models. Therefore the Boeing B777 and Airbus A330 operators don't have to leave the region for repairs, which helps to eliminate logistical inconvenience, reduces downtime, saves costs and improves operational efficiency.

SAEI aims to achieve the Saudi Vision 2030, part of which aims to localize more than 50 per cent of military equipment spending by 2030 and includes covering MRO services for fixed and rotary-wing military aircraft.
