Aeroflot, UTair And Aviation Capital Services Order Honeywell Avionics Suites For New 777, 737NG And A321 Aircraft

Russian airlines Aeroflot, UTair and aircraft leasing firm Aviation Capital Services (ACS) have ordered a total of 126 avionics suites from Honeywell Aerospace for installation on their latest fleets. Honeywell's avionics suites feature the latest systems to maximize safety, increase passenger comfort and reduce pilot workload.

Honeywell said in a news release that its avionics suites bring Aeroflot, UTair and ACS numerous advanced safety systems that comply with current and anticipated future international mandates.

"By selecting Honeywell's avionics suites for some of the industry's most capable and mature aircraft, these operators are putting passenger safety and comfort at the top of the agenda, and changing perceptions of the safety of Russia's commercial fleets in the progress," said Sergei Pritulenko, Country Leader, Russia/CIS, Honeywell Aerospace.

Deliveries start later this year and include:

• 16 avionics suites for Aeroflot's latest Boeing 777 fleet.
• 50 avionics suites for ACS' latest Boeing 737NG fleet. In 2012 Aeroflot signed a memorandum of understanding with ACS to lease 50 737NGs, extending Aeroflot's Honeywell avionics portfolio.
• UTair has selected 40 Honeywell avionics suites for its new Boeing 737NG fleet and a further 20 Honeywell avionics suites for its new Airbus A321 fleet.

Honeywell is showcasing its commercial, business, helicopter and general aviation capabilities at MAKS 2013, in Zhukovsky, Moscow, which runs through Sept. 1
