Lufthansa joins runway safety system
The parent company of Lufthansa has agreed to help test technology Airbus Group and Honeywell International have proposed to jointly develop to prevent airliners from careening off the ends of runways during landings. A MOU among the 3 companies was signed last week during the Farnborough Airshow, according to people familiar with the details. The Airbus-Honeywell effort was previously reported but not Lufthansa’s role in the project. Under the agreement, Lufthansa Group will help with engineering development, and it will also make planes available for testing of proposed runway safeguards combining various elements of proprietary safety systems already marketed separately by Airbus and Honeywell. Such an offering would meet impending European safety rules to combat runway excursions. <br/>
