Honeywell names board for Honeywell Aerospace spin-off, targets June 29, 2026 completion; Investor Day set for June 3, 2026

Honeywell named the anticipated 11-person board of directors for Honeywell Aerospace, the company it plans to spin off into what is expected to be one of the largest publicly listed pure-play aerospace and defense businesses. Craig Arnold will lead the board as independent chair, as previously announced, and Honeywell Aerospace President and CEO Jim Currier will join as a director.

“Honeywell Aerospace’s Board is purpose-built to provide the leadership, domain knowledge, and diverse perspectives that will benefit all of its stakeholders as it advances the industry toward greater electrification, autonomy, and safety,” said Vimal Kapur, Chairman and CEO of Honeywell. “I am confident that Honeywell Aerospace is well-prepared to succeed as an independent company and to help shape the future of flight.”

“With our innovation-driven growth strategy, scalable technology platform, and commitment to operational excellence, Honeywell Aerospace is poised to extend its leadership in attractive end markets – while delivering value for our customers, employees, and shareowners. I look forward to working with Craig and the rest of the Board as we chart the next chapter for Honeywell Aerospace,” Currier said.

The board appointments will take effect upon completion of the planned spin-off, expected June 29, 2026, pending final approval from Honeywell’s board of directors and other customary conditions.
