Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

Honeywell announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Sino Jet at the Middle East and North Africa Business Aviation Association (MEBAA) show. Subject to the MoU, both parties expect to expand their collaboration in areas such as aviation services and new technology development, and support Honeywell’s alignment of its portfolio around three compelling megatrends, including the future of aviation.

Honeywell has provided datalink subscription, navigation and terrain databases, and other connected services for Sino Jet’s fleet, along with extensive cooperation on aftermarket parts support. Under the terms of the MoU, the two companies plan to deepen cooperation in next-generation connectivity technologies such as Honeywell’s high-speed JetWaveTM X SATCOM system.

JetWaveTM X is the next-generation SATCOM system designed for business aviation. It will provide customers with unprecedented coverage and data speeds by leveraging Viasat’s Ka-band network, which includes ViaSat-3 and Global Xpress (GX) satellites. The system enables access to speeds that exceed increasing passenger demands and the most data-hungry applications of the future, with typical speeds consistently greater than 30 Mbps and as high as 100 Mbps, even in the busiest flight corridors. Building upon the success of Honeywell’s JetWaveTM SATCOM system, JetWaveTM X is easy to install and provides the flexibility to connect to any Viasat Ka-band satellite.

"We are excited to be further strengthening our partnership with Honeywell as we celebrate the opening of Sino Jet's Middle East International Headquarters.  At Sino Jet, we believe that innovation is the key driver behind our business growth and the digital transformation of the business aviation industry.”  Said Chris Wu, International President of Sino Jet.  “The advanced connectivity technologies and solutions provided by Honeywell have greatly benefited our clients, offering them significant convenience and value. We are eager to collaborate with Honeywell on the upcoming next-generation JetWaveTM X satellite communication system, aiming to elevate the customer experience in the business aviation sector to unprecedented levels while ensuring even higher standards of safety and operational excellence."

"Staying connected is critical to flight safety and efficiency. Honeywell’s satellite communications systems provide operators, passengers, and crew with reliable, consistent connectivity throughout the world," said Jason Wissink, Vice President & General Manager, Services and Connectivity, Honeywell Aerospace Technologies. "We are honored to further deepen our collaboration with Sino Jet. With over 30 years of expertise in satellite communication, Honeywell aims to help Sino Jet achieve a safe, efficient, and smart fleet operation, providing passengers with a seamless connected service experience.”
