Honeywell has been selected by Emirates to provide wheels and carbon brakes for its fleet of 116 Airbus A380 aircraft. Honeywell’s advanced wheel and braking designs save weight, reduce maintenance costs and help extend overall brake life.

Under the terms of the 10-year agreement, maintenance of the wheels and brakes will be performed through Emirates maintenance shops, ensuring continued maintenance support in Dubai.

“The Middle East continues to be an important market for Honeywell,” said Mohammed Mohaisen, president and CEO, Middle East and North Africa, Honeywell. “We remain committed to supporting our customers in region with proven solutions that enable advanced safety and efficiency.”
