A series of new deals involving customers from the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent have fattened Honeywell Aerospace’s already substantial order book. Here at the Dubai Airshow this week, the U.S. group (Stand A470) expects to announce some $500 million worth of new business, anchored by contracts involving some of Dubai’s closest neighbors.

Contracts with Oman Air, Bahrain Air, Kingfisher Airlines and Emirates Airline have reinforced Honeywell’s foothold in the region. Meanwhile, a $50 million contract with British Airways for the supply of wheels and brakes for 62 Boeing 767s and 777s proved noteworthy by virtue of its sheer size.
