Honeywell flies to Montreal the week of its aerospace spinoff and Bombardier partnership

Honeywell flew from Teterboro to Montreal on the evening of May 12, 2026, a 77-minute hop in its Falcon 8X, tail N988H. The trip lands the industrial conglomerate in the home city of Bombardier, one of its most important business-jet customers.

The same week, Honeywell is preparing to spin off its aerospace division as a standalone company on June 29, per a FlightGlobal report [flightglobal.com](https://www.flightglobal.com/systems-interiors/2026/04/honeywell-to-complete-aerospace-technologies-spin-on-29-june/). Bombardier CEO Eric Martel told Reuters on April 30 that he sees the separation as positive for the supply chain, noting Honeywell has “improved its performance over the last year” [ca.marketscreener.com](https://ca.marketscreener.com/news/bombardier-ceo-sees-honeywell-aerospace-spinoff-as-positive-for-supply-chain-ce7f58d8dd8cfe27). The two companies also signed a landmark technology agreement in December 2024 covering avionics, engines, and satellite communications, resolving years of litigation [honeywell.com](https://www.honeywell.com/us/en/press/2024/12/honeywell-and-bombardier-sign-landmark-agreement-to-deliver-the-next-generation-of-aviation-technology-honeywell-updates-2024-outlook).

Honeywell’s fleet rarely visits Montreal; its last recorded arrival at CYUL was months ago. The trip follows a pattern of executive travel to key partner sites — the Falcon 8X flew from Washington Dulles to Columbus, Ohio, on May 8, and from Phoenix to Dulles on May 5 — suggesting face-to-face meetings with Bombardier leadership as the spinoff deadline approaches.
