SkyTrac Systems has acquired the exclusive, perpetual licence to manufacture, sell and support the Honeywell Sky Connect product line.

This transition brings Honeywell's long-standing Sky Connect offerings under SkyTrac's stewardship, reinforcing SkyTrac's position as a trusted provider of end-to-end connectivity solutions for operators around the world. SkyTrac and Honeywell are working closely together to ensure a smooth and transparent transition for all Sky Connect customers, and this process will take place on a rolling basis over the next several months, with ongoing communication and support at every step.

“Sky Connect has a long history in aviation, and we're proud to play a part in carrying that legacy forward,” says Shane Sullivan, VP, operations at SkyTrac. “Our focus right now is on keeping things steady for customers. Nothing about how you operate or how you're supported will change overnight. SkyTrac will provide clear, direct communication to each customer outlining transition timelines and points of contact, while both companies remain fully aligned in ensuring a seamless continuation of service. We're excited about what this means for operators and the possibilities it opens for innovation down the line.”

For more than a decade, the Sky Connect line has been a mainstay in the global aviation community, providing Iridium-based voice, tracking and messaging systems to commercial, business and government operators. By bringing this product family into its portfolio, SkyTrac ensures that Sky Connect customers will continue to receive the same reliability and performance they have always depended on, now backed by SkyTrac's commitment to innovation and long-term customer support.

This strategic acquisition underscores SkyTrac's ongoing investment in innovation and its commitment to providing aviation operators with robust, future-proof solutions designed to enhance safety, efficiency and operational awareness. Through this partnership with Honeywell, SkyTrac is ensuring that Sky Connect customers benefit not only from continuity of service, but also from access to the latest advancements in aviation communications as the industry continues to evolve.
