Honeywell has completed the first sale of Jet ConneX, the global, high-speed connectivity service targeted toward the business aviation aircraft market segment, in Latin America. The service, which is powered by Inmarsat's Ka-band satellite network and runs on Honeywell's JetWave hardware, was selected alongside the Honeywell Avionics Protection Plan and several GoDirect services to support flight planning, weather monitoring, future maintenance and more.

A Brazilian customer is the first to purchase Jet ConneX through Honeywell GoDirect in Latin America. The improved in-flight connectivity and GoDirect services will be used on the customer's Dassault Falcon 7X to improve passengers' cabin experience and provide pilots with dynamic services for better awareness and decision-making.

“Customers around the world, and now in Latin America, have selected our JetWave hardware and Inmarsat's Jet ConneX service to take full advantage of what a connected experience in the sky can offer, from streaming video to real-time weather data,” said Jason Wissink, GoDirect worldwide sales director, Honeywell Aerospace. “Passengers can benefit from reliable, high-speed connectivity that makes the cabin feel as productive as their homes or offices, while pilots gain access to GoDirect services that help strategically inform their decisions around problematic weather and flight-planning efficiency.”

Honeywell is bringing its vision for the Connected Aircraft to business aviation operators across Latin America. As adoption increases for JetWave and Jet ConneX, operators in region are giving passengers and pilots improved productivity, efficiency, safety and a quality connected experience that travels along whenever and wherever they travel.

“The collective purchase of Jet ConneX, JetWave and other GoDirect services directly through Honeywell shows a unique benefit created for customers,” said Wissink. “They can now rely on Honeywell as the one point of contact in meeting and supporting all their connectivity-related needs.”
