Honeywell flew from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport to Washington Dulles International Airport on May 21st in a brief 29-minute hop aboard its Falcon 8X, tail number N988H.

The same week, Honeywell and Flexjet finalized a settlement to their billion-dollar lawsuit over engine maintenance delays, extending their aircraft engine maintenance agreement through 2035, per a January press release from Honeywell. The short flight likely carried executives involved in finalizing the details of that resolution, which Flexjet said was worth over $1 billion in cash considerations and service credits, as reported by Private Jet Card Comparisons on January 22.

The trip follows a busy week for Honeywell's aircraft: on May 18th, N988H flew from Phoenix to the Washington area, and earlier in the month the jet visited Seattle, Las Vegas, Montreal, New York, and Columbus — a pattern consistent with meetings at customer sites and regulatory offices as the company works to rebuild its commercial partnership with Flexjet and restore confidence in its engine support network.
