Chongqing, Honeywell shake hands on aviation  

重庆携手世界500强企业共谋航空产业发展

22日，世界500强企业美国霍尼韦尔国际公司与重庆两江新区签署战略合作备忘录，将在两江新区建设航空产业技术研发中心，共谋航空产业发展。

Chongqing (CNS) -- The Liangjiang New Area of Chongqing and US conglomerate Honeywell International signed a strategic cooperation memorandum on Saturday, aiming to jointly establish an aviation R&D center in the sprawling southwestern municipality.

The R&D center will cover three main departments: aerospace, automation and automotive, said Sheng Weili, president of Honeywell China.

Honeywell will also build a manufacturing base and maintenance center focused on aerospace technology in the development zone, added Sheng.

Chongqing was chosen as a pilot location for the reform of low-altitude airspace management by the government in April, so the Liangjiang New Area has become a key zone to develop the aviation sector, said a local official.
