Skytrac Acquires Sky Connect Satcom

Skytrac has acquired Honeywell’s Sky Connect satcom business, securing manufacturing and long-term support rights for the product line.

The deal transfers perpetual manufacturing and support rights for Honeywell’s Sky Connect satcom hardware and software to Skytrac, strengthening the Canadian connectivity specialist’s footprint in business and government aviation.

Existing Sky Connect customers will continue to receive technical support and parts as Skytrac integrates the product line into its global service network. Skytrac framed the acquisition as a move to broaden its in-flight connectivity portfolio and service reach.

Honeywell will no longer oversee the Sky Connect product family after the transfer, allowing the aerospace conglomerate to focus on other avionics and systems priorities while ensuring customers retain access to support through Skytrac.

What the Sky Connect satcom deal means

For operators and fleet managers the change of ownership is primarily about continuity and choice: the Sky Connect satcom product line keeps a clear support path, but now under a supplier dedicated to satcom services and operational support across business, government and special-mission aircraft.

• Key takeaway: Skytrac gains perpetual manufacturing & support rights for the Sky Connect satcom product line, ensuring continued service for current customers.
• The move expands Skytrac’s product range and global service footprint without disrupting existing Sky Connect installations.
• Honeywell steps back from direct ownership of Sky Connect hardware while maintaining broader avionics commitments elsewhere.

Operational details such as transition timelines, affected part numbers, and customer migration plans will be handled directly by Skytrac and notified to customers through formal support channels. Operators should contact their Skytrac account teams for service-level and logistics updates.
