Honeywell supports largest jet upgrade with full suite of products:


23 May 2019: Honeywell has supported ACC COLUMBIA service centre with upgrades to the latest cockpit, cabin and connectivity systems, alongside mandate equipment to retrofit and modernise a Bombardier Global Express jet. The refurbishment took place in November 2018 and the aircraft is in full service and is the largest single aircraft update within the business jet space, making the jet the equivalent of a new aircraft at 10 per cent of the cost, with enhanced safety and efficiency elements.

"The cost of buying a new business aircraft continues to increase, so operators are looking toward modifying their jets with upgraded solutions as an investment," said Nils Janssen, managing director, ACC COLUMBIA Jet Service. "As a revered service centre, we've worked closely with Honeywell to upgrade jets to increase the value and install the most efficient solutions for our customers. This ensures they're able to reduce workloads for pilots though the latest avionics, while providing business passengers with seamless in-flight Wi-Fi and entertainment, for increased productivity while traveling."
