    Posted by John McHale PHOENIX, 20 Nov. 2010. Vietnam Airlines awarded a $100 million avionics and auxiliary power unit (APU) contract to Honeywell (NYSE: HON) for its fleet of 36 new and 22 existing Airbus A321 aircraft. Honeywell also will work with the airline to help establish an in-house APU repair and overhaul capability. Honeywell's avionics for Vietnam Airlines include the flight management system (FMS), multifunction control display unit, the enhanced ground proximity warning system (EGPWS), air data inertial reference unit (ADIRU), and air data module (ADM). The Honeywell avionics solutions selected by Vietnam Airlines will provide critical real-time information to the pilots to help keep the aircraft on course, clear of terrain, and optimize the navigation and routing for better fuel efficiency. In addition, Honeywell's 131-9A APU will provide Vietnam Airlines with an annual estimated savings as much as $10,000 per aircraft, Honeywell officials say.
