Case Study: Avemex achieves ADS-B Out compliance and maintains aircraft availability with Honeywell ADS-B upgrade

Avemex Completes Honeywell Upgrade as ADS-B Mandate Nears

Avemex, a Toluca-based aircraft management, charter and MRO provider, faced the looming ADS-B Out mandates in Mexico and the USA and the risk of limited MRO capacity and rising upgrade costs. Working as a long-term partner with Honeywell and operating a Citation X for a global consulting firm, Avemex needed to complete the avionics upgrade in time to avoid grounding and loss of access to U.S. airspace.

Avemex carried out a Honeywell ADS-B Out upgrade—retaining Honeywell components and performing unit upgrades and wiring modifications—completed in four weeks. The Honeywell solution delivered regulatory compliance ahead of the mandate, preserved (and potentially increased) the aircraft’s resale value, maintained aircraft availability for international flights, and avoided the expected delays and price increases.
