Honeywell Aerospace will serve as an APU/air management systems integrator on the A350XWB in a deal potentially worth $16 billion, as Airbus prepares to roll out similar integration agreements with other vendors. Airbus is expected to announce a fresh wave of awards for the A350XWB as it moves to assemble larger, complete work packages with a smaller number of major suppliers.
