New Honeywell-GAL Agreement Optimizes UAE Military Fleet Maintenance
The agreement focuses on optimizing support for Honeywell’s T55 turboshaft engines and environmental control systems that will enable UAE military operators with faster component shipping and turnaround times.
Through this collaboration, GAL will manage end-to-end logistics on behalf of UAE customers, from selecting the optimal Honeywell repair facility to overseeing shipping and maintaining full repair visibility.
Customers will continue to benefit from Honeywell’s parts and repair offering, now supported by a streamlined regional logistics model that reduces downtime and enhances mission-readiness for the UAE military fleet.

Through our collaboration with Global Aerospace Logistics, we’re eliminating long wait times and bringing a faster, more efficient repair model to the region.”
“By leveraging GAL’s extensive end-to-end logistics expertise to manage the entire repair pipeline, we are providing faster turnaround times and unprecedented visibility for critical platform support. This agreement will further ensure that the UAE military benefits from the most efficient and reliable localized sustainment models in the region,” noted Abdelrahman AlHammadi, Acting CEO of GAL.
