AAR Expands Capabilities in Asia-Pacific with New Agreement with Airbus Avionics

AAR's New Radome Repair Agreement with Airbus Avionics

In a major development within the aviation aftermarket service landscape, AAR CORP. has officially sealed a multi-year agreement with Airbus Avionics focused on radome repair services. This agreement positions AAR as an authorized Airbus repair station in the Asia-Pacific region, excluding China, which significantly enhances its operational capabilities in a key market.

Strengthened Partnerships

AAR's decision to collaborate closely with Airbus is a testament to their decade-long relationship, which has now been reaffirmed with this new contract. The agreement includes a complete portfolio of radome repairs specifically tailored for Airbus commercial aircraft. This will not only streamline service delivery in the region but will also bolster AAR's existing capabilities that include repairs of critical aircraft components such as sharklets, elevators, rudders, and slats. According to Nicholas Gross, AAR's Senior Vice President of Government Programs and Component MRO, this new agreement strengthens AAR's position as a comprehensive service provider, dedicated to supporting the growing fleet of Airbus aircraft across Asia-Pacific.

Importance of Radome Repairs

Radomes are essential for aircraft as they house radar equipment, protecting it from the external environment while ensuring operational efficiency. The expertise and approval from Airbus allow AAR to conduct repairs on these critical components, ensuring safety and enhanced performance in aviation operations across various airlines.
