Honeywell ACES the Future of Cabin Messaging & Music

Every flight needs a soundtrack.

With Honeywell ACES, airlines can set the tone with a next-generation pre-recorded announcement and music (PRAM) system that welcomes passengers onboard and provides messages and music throughout the flight.

Honeywell ACES is the Advanced Communication & Entertainment System that lets airlines replace static announcements with dynamic content, smoothing the boarding process, reinforcing safety messaging and creating a welcoming atmosphere as passengers come onboard.

Some Boeing 737 operators use 1990s-era PRAM technology, while others forego the use of PRAM because it is so difficult to update. Honeywell ACES takes the PRAM concept to new heights by delivering crisper announcements, multilingual messages and curated boarding music that sets the tone from door-open to pushback.

  With Honeywell ACES, airlines can easily tailor and deploy prerecorded announcements to create a unique flight experience. Announcements can reinforce general boarding and safety messaging, which speeds boarding and improves on-time performance and passenger satisfaction.

What Makes Honeywell ACES Different?

Most current PRAM systems require maintenance techs to visit each aircraft to change the prerecorded program manually. This process is inefficient, time-consuming, and costly, so airlines often go months without updating PRAM content.

This inflexibility prevents airlines from maximizing the system's value by custom-curating music, announcements and even paid advertising focused on a particular season, destination, or group of passengers.

Playlists are uploaded to the cloud and downloaded without crew interaction. Flight attendants can operate Honeywell ACES through an intuitive 10-inch display on the aircraft, so minimal training is required.

Whether for a single aircraft or the entire fleet, updates can be completed in minutes, enabling airline curators to push new content as often as every day.

Honeywell ACES Goes Above and Beyond

Honeywell ACES gives airlines a unique marketing opportunity to promote new routes, vacation packages or other special offers. They can also generate additional revenue by selling advertising to other businesses, such as hotels, high-end retailers and sponsors of special events in destination cities.

Honeywell ACES can help an airline build brand awareness and passenger loyalty in a highly competitive travel market, setting the stage for future growth and expansion.

By replacing static announcements with dynamic, cloud-updated content, Honeywell ACES ensures that the airline’s voice comes through clearly and consistently on every flight, reinforcing trust while creating a calmer, more welcoming cabin atmosphere.
