Boeing has expanded its distribution agreement with Ontic to include global distribution rights for the Honeywell RDR-4 A/B Weather Radar system and the P440/660/880 Primus Weather Radar family. The announcement, made at MRO Europe, strengthens aftermarket support for commercial airliners, business jets and rotorcraft and reinforces lifecycle support for long-in-service fleets.
The expanded Radar distribution preserves a single, global channel for new spare parts across a broad installed base - including the Boeing 737 family, 777 and 757, as well as Airbus A320CL, A330 and A340, and a variety of regional aircraft.
Covering more than 1,000 unique part numbers and major Line Replaceable Units (LRUs) - such as the receiver/transmitter, antenna, control panel, mounting tray, and flat plate antenna - the portfolio helps operators and MROs maintain reliable access to critical radar systems that detect hazardous weather, turbulence, and wind shear. Primarily supported from Ontic’s UK sites, the program supports approximately 170 operators and repair stations globally.
