Acquisition Plan Announced In November, 2009
Rockwell Collins has completed the acquisition of AR Group and
its affiliated companies, including Air Routing International, a
provider of trip support services for business aircraft flight
operations.
Under the terms of the agreement, Rockwell Collins will acquire
all outstanding shares of AR Group, Inc. and its affiliated
companies. The acquisition is expected to be neutral to Rockwell
Collins' fiscal year 2010 earnings. During the transition, the
company will go to market as Air Routing International, a Rockwell
Collins Company.
"One of our growth strategies is to extend beyond products and
systems to bring value-added applications and services for flight
operations," said Steve Timm, vice president and general manager,
Information Management at Rockwell Collins. "Air Routing's
expertise in flight planning and trip support is a natural fit with
this strategy. We look forward to the opportunity to deliver new
levels of service to current and future customers."
Rockwell Collins provides flight deck, cabin and information
management solutions for business aircraft operators.
Air Routing has been providing flight departments with trip
planning services for more than 30 years. Recently, the
company extended its offering to give customers comprehensive
online access to its flight support tools. This offering provides
customers with a single-source solution for weather services,
flight planning services, fuel arrangements, international trip
handling and concierge services.
