AAR, a leading aviation services provider for commercial airlines and governments across the globe, has been selected as the exclusive distributor for Woodward to promote and sell spare piece parts in support of the U.S. government’s fleets, AAR announced on Wednesday.
“We are excited to partner with Woodward in support of the U.S. military,†said Eric Young, AAR Senior Vice President of OEM Solutions. “AAR will leverage its experience and unique tools to shorten lead times and increase parts availability.â€
