Airinmar and Cebu Pacific Ensure Enhanced Aircraft Management Through Extended Partnership

Airinmar, a subsidiary of AAR CORP (NYSE: AIR), has marked a significant milestone by extending its partnership with Cebu Pacific, a leading low-cost airline in the Philippines, through a multi-year agreement.

As the aviation industry continues to evolve, the efficiency of aircraft maintenance has become paramount—especially for companies like Cebu Pacific that operate on a low-cost model.

He remarked, "Airinmar's ability to offer customized solutions relevant to our operations has enabled us to seek out innovative ideas and implement better solutions. As we progress with our expansion plans, the support from Airinmar remains invaluable."

Cebu Pacific operates one of the youngest fleets in the world, currently numbering 100 aircraft, with plans to add over 100 more in the near future. With such ambitious growth strategies, the airline relies on comprehensive warranty management services to ensure that their fleet operates at optimal efficiency, which plays a crucial role in both cost control and operational readiness.
