Company Leverages Operations And Parts Supply Expertise To Serve Helicopters

Aerospace and defense contractor AAR has begun offering a broad range of aftermarket support services for helicopter operators, including parts sales, engineering, and total lifecycle support programs, under its new Rotorcraft Services business division.

AAR officially launched the new business unit leading up to the Heli-Expo show March 1-3 in Louisville, KY.

With Rotorcraft Services, AAR says it leverages AAR Airlift’s experience operating and maintaining rotorcraft in expeditionary environments, as well as the Company’s aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) capabilities, global supply chain network and modification expertise to offer similar services to rotorcraft customers.

AAR’s Airlift Group has owned, operated and maintained its own fleet of fixed- and rotor-wing aircraft for more than 10 years. In fact, AAR Airlift is one of the largest independent providers of expeditionary airlift services in the world, providing mission-critical transport of people and supplies in austere environments such as Afghanistan, the Falkland Islands, Africa, and at sea in the Mediterranean and Western Pacific. AAR Airlift Group has operated the Sikorsky S-92 and S-61N, Bell 214ST and 412, Airbus 330J Puma, and Finmeccanica AW-189 airframes in remote locations, and offers its customers the benefit of this operational and sustainment expertise.

Already underway through its Airinmar subsidiary, AAR manages component repair for CHC’s fleet of more than 200 helicopters.
