AAR Selected to Provide Component Support for ATR Regional Aircraft

SINGAPORE /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AAR CORP. (NYSE: AIR) today announced that its component repair operating unit, AAR Aircraft Component Services, and France-based regional aircraft manufacturer ATR have signed a multi-year agreement under which AAR will repair and overhaul rotable components for ATR regional turboprop aircraft.

The component support agreement will enable ATR to offer cost effective, reliable and responsive rotable component repair and overhaul support to operators of ATR 72 and 42 regional turboprops. The program is designed to help ATR provide its customers with cost-effective and timely component support.

"We look forward to building our relationship with ATR as they expand their worldwide fleet of ATR 72 and 42 aircraft," said Rob Bruinsma, General Manager of AAR Aircraft Component Services. "AAR's internal capabilities will integrate seamlessly with the services offered by ATR to minimize aircraft downtime and lower operating costs."

Maintenance and support requirements for regional aircraft are expected to increase significantly as the worldwide fleet continues to grow and mature. AAR is well positioned to meet these requirements with a broad range of services, including parts supply, logistics, component repair, airframe maintenance and landing gear overhauls -- offered both as stand-alone services and integrated as complete nose-to-tail support programs.
