Shanghai, April 16:  UAS  International Trip Support  and Honeywell  are joining forces to provide global connectivity to the business jet fleet of leading Asia Pacific business aviation charter and management group Hongkong Jet with the implementation of UAS  LinkEvolution™  for flight services and communication combined with Honeywell GoDirect cabin services for passenger connectivity. 

 

The agreement will be formalised at a signing ceremony on the opening day of ABACE 2019 on Tuesday April 16^th at 2 pm - on UAS booth A123. 

 

UAS LinkEvolution  provides seamless global connectivity to the cockpit using powerful datalink satellite communications networks.   The  forward-looking datalink solution delivers worldwide ACARS (datalink) service, as well as unlimited access to all worldwide VHF networks, including ARINC and SITA, as well as Inmarsat and Iridium satellite networks.  It will also enable Hongkong Jet’s   fleet of  several Gulfstream G650/G550, Falcon 8X, BBJ’s, and ACJ319  aircraft to keep  abreast of datalink regulations and remain compliant, regardless of where the aircraft are flying. 

UAS’  technology partner Honeywell is a global leader in the datalink-satellite communications arena, ensuring UAS’ offering is world-class.

The strategic alliance between the two companies originated in May 2017, when UAS International Trip Support and Honeywell ratified a partnership to expand Honeywell's flight deck and cabin connectivity services through UAS LinkEvolution.

The benefits of using this communications technology include a s ingle-vendor solution for  the  entire fleet;  unlimited datalink communications over all VHF and satellite networks with no per kilobit charges or satellite premiums  and reliable,  24/7 technical support, powered by Honeywell .

 

Omar Hosari, UAS Co-Owner/Founder and CEO said: “UAS is incredibly proud of the success we’ve had in promoting UAS LinkEvolution  globally. We have been delivering cost-efficiency and reliability to operators since we began this partnership with Honeywell. we’re delighted to introduce Hongkong Jet to this technology and are confident their experience will be overwhelmingly positive."

 

“Honeywell GoDirect will provide cabin connectivity service for Hongkong Jet’s fleet, including Inmarsat’s Jet ConneX Ka Band service that runs on Honeywell’s JetWave terminal.” said John Peterson, Vice President, Service and Connectivity, Honeywell Aerospace. “GoDirect offers a full suite of cabin connectivity services, along with cabin routers and tools to allow customization of the user experience in the cabin to provide passengers with the connectivity they desire within a set budget. Local technical support in Hong Kong plus the GoDirect global technical support team assures customer connectivity issues are addressed quickly and correctly.”

 

Hongkong Jet stated:  “ UAS LinkEvolution offers a customized and responsive solution to our unique flight deck communication requirements.   It was a natural choice to make the switch, both in terms of performance and cost-efficiency. At  Hongkong Jet we pride ourselves on being a well-informed, passionate team of experts who focus our undivided attention on providing business jet owners with a safe, professional, personal and proactive service that allows each aircraft owner to realize the full potential of business jet ownership.
