[Southwest Airlines Boeing 737s in Baltimore] SkyCaptain86 Southwest Airlines (NYSE:LUV [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/LUV]) is adding cockpit alert software, designed by Honeywell (NASDAQ:HON [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/HON]), to its entire Boeing 737 aircraft fleet to increase runway safety [https://seekingalpha.com/pr/20136956-honeywell-runway-safety-technology-selected-by-southwest-airlines-for-fleetwide-installation]. The SmartRunway and SmartLanding software notify pilots through aural and visual alerts when they move too fast, fly too high or are directed toward the wrong runway, Honeywell (NASDAQ:HON [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/HON]) said in a statement. "SmartRunway and SmartLanding will provide our pilots with enhanced situational awareness to ensure the highest level of safety while operating on runways throughout the network," said Andrew Watterson, COO, Southwest (NYSE:LUV [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/LUV]). More than 700 Southwest (LUV [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/LUV]) aircraft have been activated with the software to date. The software is certified for most Airbus (OTCPK:EADSF [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/EADSF]) and Boeing (BA [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/BA]) planes, as well as several business aviation platforms.

Honeywell's (HON [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/HON]) next-generation runway safety technology called Surface Alerts (SURF-A) is currently being tested and is expected to be certified on commercial aircraft in 2026. SURF-A uses GPS data, Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast equipment and advanced analytics to provide pilots with direct aural and visual alerts of potential runway traffic.
