12 February, 2019: Satair, a service and distribution leader in the commercial aerospace aftermarket has signed an agreement with Honeywell Aerospace to distribute Honeywell’s JetWave high-speed in-flight connectivity system to a wide segment of the global business jet market.
Honeywell’s powerful communication system, JetWave, operates and communicates with the Inmarsat satellite network to provide high-speed internet into the cabin to connect multiple devices. The communication system allows travellers to live stream TV, keep in touch with their business teams, and join video conferences to give global connectivity from take-off to touchdown.
Allan Riis, Business Development Director, Satair said, “We are delighted that Honeywell continues to trust Satair to deliver great service to the business and general aviation market. We now have dedicated Single Point of Contact (SPOC) order desks for JetWave and other business aviation products and we see JetWave as part of a continuous journey by Satair into the important business and general aviation market.”
JetWave will be distributed by Satair to the EMEA and India based Honeywell Dealers, as well as Part 145 MRO and repair facilities that will take care of the installation work and are not part of the Honeywell network.
An investment has been made on a large pool of full ship sets of JetWave stock by Satair. They will hold a certain inventory level of all Honeywell JetWave components which will enable them to deliver the components immediately and give an enhanced service to ease the management of the installation.
Satair's new agreement with Honeywell Aerospace for the business jet market builds on several other product lines that Satair also distributes to this sector such as the global management of the ADS-B Out upgrade programme on Honeywell Primus-equipped business aircraft and the global distribution of several Honeywell Sensing product lines.
Raghed Talih, Director, Aftermarket Sales & Services, Honeywell Aerospace, Middle East, Turkey, India and Africa said, “We are very pleased to further expand our relationship with Satair, and our history of collaboration especially on the Primus and ADS-B mandate program has demonstrated that Satair is a proactive and like-minded partner when bringing our products to market.”
