UTC forecast sales at the unit, which makes products such as avionics, cabin seating and lighting, to be hit by about US$550 million to US$600 million.About US$225 million of the impact to its full-year operating profit is due to a divestiture and lower sales related to a surveillance technology that facilitates tracking of aircraft position during flight, Mitchill told Reuters.

"Rest relates to the 737 MAX," Mitchill said, as UTC temporarily halted production of the aircraft parts earlier this month. "We expect to be producing as we get into the second quarter, although at a significantly reduced rate, than where we were in 2019," Mitchill said.
