Honeywell Aerospace Spin-off: New CEO Jim Currier
Honeywell named Jim Currier to lead its aerospace arm as the company prepares a major spin-off.
On November 8, 2025, Honeywell announced Jim Currier has been appointed President and CEO of Honeywell Aerospace; the move accelerates the planned Honeywell Aerospace spin-off and positions the business to become an independent, publicly traded company. The announcement signals a strategic reset for the US-based group and will be watched closely across aviation markets.
Honeywell Aerospace supplies avionics, engines and systems to commercial and military operators worldwide. As a standalone company, the unit will manage these portfolios—avionics, auxiliary systems and engine-related services—separately from Honeywell’s broader industrial and software operations. The change aims to sharpen focus on aerospace customers and operational priorities.
What the Honeywell Aerospace spin-off means
The leadership change and the spin-off plan are expected to affect Western aerospace supply chains and competitive dynamics. Airlines, airframer suppliers and defense contractors that rely on Honeywell components could see procurement and contract structures evolve as the new public company establishes its own governance, investor priorities and commercial terms. Regulators and markets will be monitoring the process as the business separates its balance sheet and reporting.
- Watch the Honeywell Aerospace spin-off timeline, regulatory filings and investor roadshows.
- Monitor supplier contracts and aftermarket service agreements for avionics and systems.
- Track responses from major operators and airframers to potential changes in sourcing and pricing.
For industry observers and investors, Jim Currier’s appointment marks the start of the next phase: transitioning Honeywell Aerospace from a division inside a diversified conglomerate into a focused aerospace company. Expect careful disclosures in upcoming investor communications and regulatory filings that will clarify timing, structure and implications for customers and partners.
