WINDSOR LOCKS, Conn., Oct. 22 /PRNewswire/ — Hamilton Sundstrand Power
Systems (HSPS), a Hamilton Sundstrand business, and StandardAero, a
division of Dubai Aerospace Enterprises, agreed to appoint StandardAero’s
Maryville, Tenn., facility an authorized repair facility for the APS 2300
Auxiliary Power Unit (APU). Hamilton Sundstrand is a subsidiary of United
Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX).

As an authorized repair facility, StandardAero will offer APS 2300 APU
operators another APU maintenance source. Under the agreement, HSPS will
provide StandardAero technical support, training at HSPS’ technical
training center in San Diego, Calif., engine manuals, and APS 2300-related
maintenance data. The agreement also provides StandardAero access to HSPS
spare parts, and component and line replaceable unit repairs to ensure
quality standards and technology for StandardAero’s APU repair process.
This will enable StandardAero to perform HSPS warranty repairs for the APS
2300 APU.

Currently, APS 2300 APUs are installed on Embraer’s E-Jet family. With
the growing fleet of operating EMB 170 family aircraft and the resulting
demand for alternative repair sources, HSPS selected StandardAero as an
independent service provider with a proven track record of customer
satisfaction and quality work.

“This agreement provides the APS 2300 customer base additional service
flexibility and will enhance this APU’s marketability,” said Marty Kessell,
HSPS Customer Support general manager.

“This is a great addition to our existing regional airline market
services portfolio,” said Tim Fischer, vice president and general manager
of StandardAero’s Maryville facility. “Our long-standing experience in
aero-engine maintenance and our innovative repair technology concepts are
some of the benefits StandardAero will provide customers. We have a strong
presence in the regional airline market, and the addition of the APS 2300
APU enhances our one-stop-shop capabilities for our customers.”

Auxiliary Power Units provide power to aircraft while they are on the
ground and back-up power while in flight.
