CHANDLER — AvAir, a Chandler inventory solutions provider for the aviation aftermarket, has been selected by Honeywell Aerospace to be the exclusive worldwide distributor of its 85- and 95-series auxiliary power units, including spares, for all commercial and defense applications.

“We’re excited to announce this new partnership with Honeywell and create a unique distribution channel for these APUs,” said Moe El-Khatib, vice president for defense at AvAir. “This opportunity will allow us to continue to provide our existing and new customers improved access and more solutions to critical parts.”

These APU models are currently in service on more than 1,400 aircraft worldwide, including the C-130 and P-3 aircraft in the defense sector, and the Boeing 737-CL in the commercial sector.

AvAir, now in its 22nd year in business, offers customized solutions for customers and suppliers to buy, sell, exchange, loan, lease, or consign inventories with more than 26 million in-stock components.
