Honeywell and private aviation leader Flexjet have announced a definitive resolution to their pending legal disputes, marking a significant step toward revitalizing their strategic commercial partnership. The comprehensive agreement fully settles all claims between the two companies, as well as associated litigation involving aviation service providers StandardAero and Duncan Aviation. This settlement clears the path for a renewed and collaborative future between the aerospace manufacturer and the fractional jet ownership company.
Central to this renewed alliance is the simultaneous extension of a key commercial contract. As a core element of the litigation resolution, Honeywell and Flexjet have agreed to significantly extend their existing aircraft engine maintenance agreement. This long-term extension ensures that Flexjet’s fleet will continue to be supported by Honeywell’s technical expertise and services through the year 2035, providing operational stability and predictability for both organizations.
The agreement concludes a period of legal contention, allowing both industry leaders to focus fully on forward-looking collaboration. By putting the litigation behind them, Honeywell and Flexjet can now direct their combined efforts toward enhancing fleet performance, operational efficiency, and service delivery for Flexjet’s clientele. The renewed maintenance pact underscores a mutual commitment to safety, reliability, and technological advancement in business aviation.
“We are pleased to have reached this agreement with Flexjet, which not only resolves past differences but also reinforces our shared vision for the future,” said a Honeywell spokesperson. “Extending our maintenance agreement to 2035 solidifies a foundational partnership that benefits both companies and the customers we ultimately serve.”
A Flexjet representative added, “This resolution allows us to move forward with a strong, reliable partner in Honeywell. Securing our engine maintenance framework for the long term is crucial for our operational planning and our commitment to delivering exceptional service and peace of mind to our owners.”
The settlement and contract extension signal a positive reset in one of business aviation’s important supplier relationships. It demonstrates a pragmatic and constructive approach by both corporations to overcome challenges and build a stronger, more durable partnership focused on the years ahead. Honeywell and Flexjet expressed a shared sentiment of looking forward to working collaboratively to support the evolving needs of the premium private aviation market.
