Case Study: Shortstop Jet Charter achieves predictable maintenance budgeting and rapid parts delivery with Honeywell Avionics Protection Plan (HAPP)

Shortstop Jet Charter Gains from HAPP Avionics Protection

Shortstop Jet Charter, a Melbourne-based jet charter and aircraft management company operating a Learjet 31 and a Falcon 900, faced the twin challenges of keeping its fleet flight-ready and removing uncertainty from maintenance budgeting. To protect owners and minimize aircraft-on-ground risk, Shortstop Jet Charter enrolled both aircraft in the Honeywell Avionics Protection Plan (HAPP).

Honeywell’s HAPP provided 24/7 AOG support, priority access to genuine parts through its SPEX program, paid air‑freight, loan units and a fixed-price repair guarantee. The result was rapid delivery of replacements (for example, an integrated avionics unit was flown in from Singapore the next day), tighter budget predictability, reduced unexpected repair costs and clear peace of mind for Shortstop Jet Charter and its owners—benefits the company says make them “ahead of the game financially.”
