Overview
- Honeywell announced Monday that IndiGo selected its avionics and power systems for 810 A320neo‑family aircraft and that Aeromexico intends to deploy Honeywell’s SURF‑A runway‑safety software on more than 100 Boeing 737 NG and 737 MAX jets.
- Aeromexico said it intends to be the SURF‑A launch customer and plans to install the software as an upgrade to existing Honeywell EGPWS and TCAS equipment already on its 737s.
- SURF‑A uses GPS, ADS‑B inputs and software analytics to give pilots aural and visual warnings roughly 30 and 15 seconds before a potential runway collision, providing extra time to spot and avoid hazards.
- Honeywell expects FAA certification for SURF‑A on several Boeing types to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026 and to continue into 2027, so actual installations and revenue recognition depend on regulatory approval.
- The IndiGo award includes auxiliary power units, weather radar, collision‑avoidance and flight management systems with aftermarket support, and it adds to Honeywell’s wider runway‑safety portfolio that is already installed on more than 6,000 commercial aircraft globally.
