Honeywell MSP – Mechanical Program

Honeywell is rolling out a new addition to its Maintenance Service Plan for the G500 new (Serial 72XXX) and G600 platforms.

MSP is now covering Cabin Pressure Control System (CPCS) and Environmental Control System (ECS) mechanical components, in addition to its current MSP Avionics and APU offerings with the same great protection. This means a more comprehensive coverage solution to help plan for maintenance costs for our valued customers.

And why is this changing? The MSP Mechanical offering complements the MSP, APU, and MSP Avionics offerings already available for these platforms.  The addition of CPCS provides more visibility to maintenance costs, offers protection from unplanned maintenance events, and makes maintenance budgeting more predictable.

Additionally, if customers enroll in both the avionics’ and mechanical components’ plans simultaneously, special prices may apply. For aircraft still under their current OEM warranty, the In Lieu of Warranty (ILOW) option is also available with additional benefits.

Collins CASP Program

Collins Aerospace is now offering a 5% New Enrollment Discount for new aircraft enrollments in Collins Avionics Service Program (CASP) from now until December 31, 2024. This offer may be combined with other qualifying discounts from Collins. Additionally, new aircraft enrollments will receive a West Star Dealer Discount off the contract price from Collins.
