Honeywell Aerospace wins IndiGo avionics deal; Aeromexico to deploy runway safety technology | The Mighty 790 KFGO

July 20 (Reuters) – Honeywell Aerospace said on Monday that Indian airline IndiGo had selected its avionics and ​power systems for 810 Airbus ‌A320neo-family aircraft, while Aeromexico plans to deploy runway safety technology from the aerospace company across more than 100 Boeing jets.

In separate statements, ‌Honeywell ​said the IndiGo deal ⁠includes auxiliary power ⁠units, weather radar, traffic collision avoidance systems, flight management systems and aftermarket support.

Honeywell Aerospace has supplied equipment for IndiGo’s ​fleet since 2015. The airline currently operates more than 400 aircraft.

While ⁠Aeromexico intends to adopt ⁠Honeywell’s Surface Alerts (SURF-A) runway safety ​technology across its Boeing 737 NG and ​737 MAX fleet.

SURF-A provides pilots with ‌real-time aural and visual alerts when an aircraft is on a trajectory to collide with another aircraft on ⁠a runway, using GPS data, Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) equipment and software analytics to identify traffic ⁠hazards.

The company ‌expects certification of SURF-A ⁠on several Boeing aircraft by ​the ‌U.S. Federal Aviation Administration to ​begin in ⁠the fourth quarter of 2026 and continue into 2027.

Honeywell Aerospace did not disclose the financial terms of either agreement.
