WOOD DALE, Illinois, November 2, 2015 – AAR (NYSE: AIR) announces Military Sealift Command (MSC) has exercised a one-year renewal option for its Airlift division to perform vertical replenishment (VERTREP) services for the U.S. Navy’s 5th and 7thFleets in the Western Pacific and Indian Oceans.
The one-year renewal is valued at approximately $14 million. The contract was awarded to AAR Airlift Group in 2011 for an estimated total value of $77 million, including all options. The contract includes the use of four helicopters, personnel, and operational and technical support services.
