“We are getting good response from our aviation customers and we are in talks with Indian carriers for deployment of connected technologies,” said Neelu Khatri, president, aerospace, Honeywell India. The aircraft can provide 10 to 100 times faster Wi-Fi speeds and offers insights through use of analytics, while ensuring a secure communication link to and from the aircraft. Aircraft technicians can get to know what parts of the aircraft need repair before the flight arrives, helping in faster turnaround times. A connected aircraft can help avoid all that, the company said. Honeywell has estimated that the market for connected aircraft is $7 billion globally and that there would be rapid adoption of such technologies.
