UTC lands new business at air show

The aerospace and jet-engine divisions of Hartford’s United Technologies Corp. said today they have signed more than $3 billion in new business so far at this year’s Paris Air Show.

Among Hamilton Sundstrand’s more than $2.6 billion in contracts is one for the Windsor Locks aerospace systems provider to deliver components and services to France’s Airbus for its new A350XWB extra-wide-body aircraft, and Canada’s Bombardier on its new CSeries commercial aircraft, Hamilton said.

The company also signed deals to supply spare parts and repair and maintenance services to Air France Industries, Global Aviation Holdings, KLM Engineering & Maintenance, Lockheed Martin, Sabena Technics and SilkAir.

Together, the value of those agreements is more than $2.6 billion, Hamilton said.

Meanwhile, East Hartford jet-engine builder Pratt & Whitney won an order worth $590 million to supply engines to China Southern Airlines for 10 Airbus A330 aircraft, Pratt said. The deal includes engine maintenance over 10 years.

The 48th annual air show, which brings together military and civilian buyers and aircraft suppliers from around the world, ends Sunday.
