GE Aviation Seeks Buyers For Airxos Unmanned Traffic Management Unit
GE has said it will close Airxos on February 1 but is open to offers for the company.
GE Aviation is looking for buyers for its Airxos business and apparently intends to start winding down the operation from February 1. A company spokeswoman confirmed to FutureFlight that the U.S. aircraft engines and systems group is "exploring the sale of Airxos." She indicated that staffing levels will be reduced next month, with others kept on the payroll, "for the continuation of uninterrupted software services while we explore a possible sale."
In a statement to sUAS News on January 9, Mark Lanphear, GE’s vice president for sales and business development, said the group has determined that it can no longer support the unmanned traffic management (UTM) specialist in the wake of financial pressures resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic.
