Brazilian offshore operator Omni Táxi Aéreo has selected Honeywell Aerospace’s IntuVue RDR-7000 weather radar for all 33 of the Leonardo AW139 helicopters in its global fleet of 88 rotorcraft. According to Honeywell, Omni’s opted to install IntuVue on its AW139s to provide maximum airborne weather radar capability for offshore flying, where conditions can deteriorate rapidly.

“Safety is the foundation of everything we do at Omni, and that starts with giving our pilots the clearest possible picture of what’s ahead,” said Omni Táxi Aéreo CEO Roberto Coimbra. “Upgrading our entire AW139 fleet with Honeywell Aerospace’s radar technology is an investment in our crews, our passengers, and the long-term reliability of our operations.”
