New Delhi: Aviation technology firms are entering the Indian market in a big way, tying up with airlines like Air India, IndiGo and GoAir to provide critical components to enhance flight safety and run their businesses.
Air India today signed a MoU with major US firm HoneywellBSE 0.26 % to upgrade the landing and take-off gears of its Boeing 777 fleet, while the two no-frill carriers joined Geneva-based SITA (Societe Internationale de Telecommunications Aeronautiques) for developing business technology solutions.
Honeywell's 'SmartRunway/SmartLanding' upgrade, which is already in use on a large number of airplanes worldwide, would improve situational awareness for pilots, deliver safer landing and taxiing operations and lower cockpit workload across its Boeing 777 fleet, a company release said. The upgrade helps mitigating runway accidents that cost the worldwide aviation industry USD one billion annually for injuries, damage, repairs and inspections.
