Headquartered in the Chicago area, AAR is a global aerospace and defence aftermarket solutions company with operations in over 20 countries.
Under this agreement, AAR will become the exclusive KC-46 and C-40 platform distributor for direct and indirect sales to the global defence and military aftermarket, including the United States Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), United States Armed Services for fleet sustainment and foreign militaries, including the Japanese defence market. Additionally, bringing these product lines to AAR will enable intracompany coordination on government contracts supported by AAR’s Government Programs business, leading to enhanced customer service.
The contract also further diversifies AAR’s defence distribution portfolio to include cargo handling products.
