Honeywell Aerospace Deals

The Aerospace Division of Honeywell International(HON) has been prospering lately.It has just signed a 50 million dollar U.S. contract with Air Asia,and its 2.2 billion profit makes up nearly half of Honeywell's total.Half of the division's after-market business is in North America.It provides specific applications for airplanes,as well as upgrades for fuel efficiency and safety.Division chief Robert Gillette says they'd like to look at expanding globally,though it's a challenge with the weak U.S. dollar.Honeywell Aerospace is selling its parts business to BE Aerospace(BEAV) for just over one billion dollars.
