Says Allegations In The Suit Are 'Entirely Without Merit'

AAR Airlift Group, Inc. categorically denies the allegations set forth in a complaint filed by DynCorp International LLC in early September 2015 in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida.

DynCorp's lawsuit alleges improper actions purportedly taken by AAR Airlift in connection with a solicitation issued by the U.S. Department of State Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, Office of Aviation for a federal government contract (the "INL/A contract") supporting State's Worldwide Aviation Support Services program. The lawsuit follows a series of protests filed by DynCorp with the U.S. Government Accountability Office, beginning on February 12, 2015, after DynCorp and AAR Airlift each submitted proposals in October 2014 for the award of the INL/A contract.

"This lawsuit is entirely without merit and represents yet another tactic in an orchestrated campaign by DynCorp to delay the Department of State from making a contract award in support of a critical program," said Steven Harrison, President of AAR Airlift. "As the incumbent under the current INL/A contract, DynCorp significantly benefits from any delay in the awarding of the new INL/A contract."

Mr. Harrison continued, "We will vigorously defend our good name, and we are confident that we will prevail in the lawsuit."
