Honeywell International Inc. was one of four Arizona employers to announce mass layoffs in May, according to reporting by azcentral and The Arizona Republic published June 2, 2026. The WARN Act filings place Honeywell alongside three other in-state employers in a month of elevated workforce reductions across Arizona.
The layoffs arrive at a complicated moment for the company. Honeywell International, which employs 7,111 people in Arizona and ranks as the state's 25th largest employer, announced in February 2025 a plan to break into three separate public companies: an aerospace division, an automation technologies division, and an advanced materials division. The aerospace unit is scheduled to spin off from the parent company in the third quarter of 2026, with its headquarters remaining in Phoenix.
The restructuring has not slowed defense investment. In March 2026, Honeywell pledged $500 million to expand defense manufacturing capacity, and Honeywell Aerospace separately announced it would assemble F124-GA-200 engines in Phoenix for the Beechcraft M-346N aircraft competing for a Navy pilot-training contract. The Navy plans to procure more than 200 aircraft if the M-346N is selected.
The WARN Act requires employers with 100 or more workers to provide 60 days' notice before covered plant closings or mass layoffs. The azcentral report did not specify the number of Arizona positions affected in Honeywell's May filing.
The spin-off of Honeywell Aerospace into a standalone public company is targeted for the third quarter of 2026.
