Honeywell International Inc. announced on 6 February 2025 its intention to spin this division into a separate publicly traded group. This spin is expected to be completed in Q3 2026. After the separation, the new ultimate parent of the entity will be Honeywell Aerospace International Inc. There is an intended change to buy out the defined benefit pension scheme as part of the spin, however the final legal form of this transfer is not yet determined.”
