OneAero MRO recognizes excellence in customer support, turn times and pricing
MIAMI – AAR (NYSE: AIR) announces that its Wheel and Brake Services business segment has earned a 2015 Top Shop Award from OneAero MRO. This is the fourth time since 2010 that AAR has been selected.

AAR offers a complete range of landing gear, wheel and brake services, including repair, rebuilding and inspection, for all major aircraft types used in commercial, military and regional operations.
“The consistency of this award indicates the commitment and dedication our employees demonstrate on a daily basis,” said Jesus Banal, General Manager, Landing Gear Services, Wheel and Brakes, Miami. “Customer satisfaction and quality is what we strive for. And this recognition further demonstrates that we are moving in the right direction with our continuous improvement strategy.”
Wheel and Brake Services are part of AAR’s 1MRO service offerings, which include engineering and aircraft services delivered via a network of six aircraft repair stations in Miami; Duluth, Minn.; Indianapolis; and Oklahoma City.
Winners of the Top Shop award were nominated and selected by their peers in the aviation industry.
