Honeywell welcomes TRAI's decision to permit Wi-Fi in-flights

Hyderabad, Jan 31 (UNI) Honeywell Aerospace has welcomed the "TRAI's decision to permit
in-flight Wi-Fi on domestic and international flights.
In a statement on Wednesday, Honeywell said it was a groundbreaking step for the aviation market.
According to the International Air Transport Association, India will become the world's third largest commercial aviation market by 2025, with an estimated increase to 278 million annual passengers.
This level of growth will require the Indian aviation market to be proactive in meeting the needs of its growing number of passengers, airlines and flight crews.
Honeywell Aerospace offers solutions that provide a reliable and consistent in-flight connectivity experience to airline passengers and flight crews globally. Collaborating with industry leader Inmarsat, Honeywell's JetWave is the exclusive hardware, enabling users to connect to Inmarsat's GX Aviation high-speed aviation broadband service.
Passenger feedback has shown Wi-Fi is becoming an expectation and is more important than other in-flight comforts -- even food. However, the TRAI’s new recommendations for in-flight connectivity will increase the potential for additional revenue for airlines, while meeting traveler demand for greater inflight connectivity, the statement said.
The aerospace industry is experiencing a digital transformation, and Honeywell is leading the way.
With more than 100 years of experience providing aircraft technology, Honeywell knows how to integrate aircraft hardware and software to enhance the flight experience, which is why the company remains at the forefront in Connected Aircraft solutions, it added.
