AAR named to Top 10 Airframe MROs in the world by Aviation Week
September 25, 2019
WOOD DALE, Illinois — AAR (NYSE: AIR), a leading provider of aviation services to commercial airlines and governments worldwide, has been named to Aviation Week’s Top 10 Airframe MROs list in the publication’s 2019 global biennial survey.
To determine the top 10 ranking, Aviation Week interviewed and evaluated maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) providers from around the world based on the number of airframe maintenance man hours performed on civil aircraft on an annual basis. With six MRO facilities in North America and one joint venture MRO underway in Nagpur, India, AAR landed in the top five providers — clocking 4.9 million airframe maintenance man hours and 5.7 million total MRO man hours annually. The company also led the list as the second largest independent MRO provider recognized.
Chris Jessup, AAR’s Chief Commercial Officer, accepted the award on behalf of the Company at the Aviation Week Network award ceremony during MRO Asia-Pacific in Singapore.
“It is an honor to be recognized by Aviation Week as one of the Top 10 Airframe MROs for 2019,” said Jessup. “As we grow our global MRO network and customer base, our airframe maintenance teams consistently deliver on service quality and efficiency day after day, and I’m really proud to celebrate this award with them.”
