Honeywell Wins IndiGo Deal, Adds Aeromexico Safety Tech

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.
