Honeywell Aerospace Tests Runway Safety Tech After LaGuardia Crash

Honeywell Aerospace and the Phoenix Aviation Department have partnered to test runway safety technology at three Valley airports.

The study, which begins this month and concludes by year-end, aims to expand surface alert technology to ground vehicles.

This move comes after a plane collided with a fire truck on the runway at New York's LaGuardia Airport in March, killing two pilots and injuring dozens more.

Feyereisen said pilots and ground vehicle operators work in fast-paced, high-stress environments and should both be prepared to avoid worst-case scenarios.
