DALE, Ill., Sept. 26,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- AAR CORP. (NYSE: AIR), a leading
provider of aviation services to commercial and government
operators, MROs, and OEMs, has been awarded a five-year indefinite
delivery / indefinite quantity contract with an aggregate ceiling
value of approximately $1.2 billion
by the U.S. Navy's Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) to perform
engine depot maintenance and repair for its P-8A Poseidon Aircraft
fleet. This new award follows a recently announced award under
which AAR will continue to perform P-8A airframe maintenance for
the U.S. Navy.
"This contract is an important step forward
in AAR's strategy to grow and advance its commercial derivative
business."
Beginning October 2024, AAR, along
with strategic partner Delta TechOps, will provide program
management, supply chain management, engineering support, and
maintenance and repair services to increase engine asset
availability for the Navy's growing fleet. The additional engine
maintenance capability achieved through this partnership with AAR
will enable the U.S. Navy to continue flying the P-8A and complete
its vital national security mission.
This contract is an important step forward in AAR's strategy to
grow and advance its commercial derivative business through the
delivery of integrated solutions. It is also expected to increase
the volume of engine part sales in the Company's Part Supply
segment.
"AAR's tailored solutions integrate government and commercial
capabilities to provide parts supply, maintenance, and other
services to meet customers' unique mission-critical needs," said
Nicholas Gross, AAR's Senior Vice
President of Integrated Solutions. "We are proud to expand our
