Honeywell Aerospace wins IndiGo avionics deal; Aeromexico to deploy runway safety technology

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.

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.
