AAR Corp.AIR
Industrials

Sells new and used aircraft parts and earns service revenue from airframe and component MRO, engineering, aviation software, and government fleet and logistics programs. Most activity sits in Parts Supply and Repair, Engineering, and Software, while asset-heavy Legacy Commercial Programs is being wound down.

Supplies new OEM replacement parts and used serviceable material. Repair, Engineering, and Software provides airframe and component MRO, engineering, and maintenance-management and procurement platforms. Government Solutions manages customer-owned aircraft, runs logistics programs, and builds mobility equipment for government missions. Legacy Commercial Programs continues flight-hour component support as contracts end and asset pools are sold.

Serves commercial airlines, MRO providers, aerospace manufacturers, and government customers across North America, Europe, and Asia through OEM distribution relationships, global parts sourcing, and certified repair facilities. The model integrates parts availability, maintenance capacity, software, and fleet support. MRO work requires aviation-authority certificates and certified technicians; government programs depend on agency funding, competitive awards, and contracts that may be terminated for convenience.
