Honeywell has appointed Saudi Arabian MRO Saudia Aerospace Engineering Industries (SAEI) as the first authorized Honeywell service center in the Middle East region. Wholly owned by Saudi Arabian Airlines Holding, SAEI claims to be one of the largest and most experienced MROs in the Middle East and North Africa region. Owners and operators of the aircraft can now have their APUs repaired locally in the Middle East instead of sending them to facilities outside the region, Honeywell said. “SAEI is already an important partner for us, and the company will soon become Honeywell’s first APU licensed service center for narrow-body APUs in the Middle East region,” said Mohammed Mohaisen, Honeywell president and CEO for the Middle East, North Africa, Turkey, and Central Asia. With the completion of more than 100 APU repairs, SAEI has renewed its focus on realizing localization ambitions under the Saudi Vision 2030 goals.
