AAR Acquires Hermetic Aircraft International

WOOD DALE, Ill., /PRNewswire/ -- AAR (NYSE: AIR) announced today that it has acquired substantially all of the net assets of Hermetic Aircraft International Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Honeywell International Inc. (NYSE: HON). The transaction, which closed Friday, September 29, 2000 was paid for with a combination of cash and seller provided financing. The acquisition is expected to be accretive to earnings per share within AAR's current fiscal year which ends May 31, 2001.

Hermetic, an aircraft component support company located in Long Island, New York, renamed AAR Hermetic, provides repair and distribution services to the North American aviation aftermarket on behalf of European aircraft component manufacturers.

"Hermetic's diverse and balanced product portfolio will fit well with our existing aircraft component services operations."

While many of the repair processes are similar, there is minimal overlap with our existing component repair capabilities," said AAR President and CEO, David P. Storch. "This acquisition fits our strategy to expand our capabilities in support of the growing Airbus platform and the regional aircraft market."
