The APU is what keeps the passenger cabin cooled when the aircraft is on ground. Airlines rely either on APU or an external ground power unit to run the cabin air conditioning when the jet engines are off. <br \/>It helps ensure passenger comfort and supplies the air source before a pilot is ready to start the main engines. \u201cAPUs are part of a broad range of Honeywell technologies shaping the future of aviation. This is one of three global megatrends that Honeywell\u2019s portfolio is aligned to, which also includes Automation and Energy Transition,\u201d said Honeywell.<br \/>\u201cWe are delighted to strengthen our collaboration with Air India and help in its fleet modernization efforts, as part of a long-standing commitment to supporting the carrier\u2019s innovation and growth objectives,\u201d said Ashish Modi, president of Honeywell India. \u201cThis latest milestone in our 30-year-plus partnership with Air India is a testament to our key role in accelerating the growth of India\u2019s aviation sector through innovative technology<!-- -->.\u201d<br \/>With air travel steadily growing, the need for easily accessible aftermarket services continues to rise. \u201cUnder the agreement, Honeywell will deliver to Air India comprehensive APU aftermarket support to ensure the continued reliability and efficiency of Air India\u2019s extensive fleet of more than 300 aircraft. This includes its legacy fleet, which consists of over 100 A320 aircraft, 15 B777 aircraft and its new fleet of 190 B737-8 aircraft, and will cover Honeywell\u2019s 131-9A, 131-9B and 331-500 series APUs. Honeywell\u2019s extensive global service and support network is designed to ensure that its APUs operate at optimal performance with minimal operational disruption,\u201d said Honeywell.<br \/>Sisira Kanta Dash, chief technical officer, Air India, said: \u201cThis is an exciting milestone that adds to our long-standing partnership with Honeywell. This agreement forms part of our global growth and transformation plans, to help achieve more efficient, reliable operations, with maximized fleet availability, through Honeywell\u2019s advanced technology services that enable us to continue meeting the needs of our valued customers.\u201d Honeywell has over seven decades of experience having produced over 100,000 gas turbine APUs, <\/div>\n<p><script>\nvar _mfq = window._mfq || [];\n_mfq.push([\"setVariable\", \"toi_titan\", window.location.href]);\n!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };\n    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };\n    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')\n      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed){\n        (function(w) {\n         function setAttributes() {\n                    var prime_user_status = window.isPrime ?
