AAR Wins IDIQ Award from U.S. Navy for Airframe Maintenance of P-8A Fleet

AAR, a leading provider of aviation services to commercial airlines and governments, was awarded a seven-year, firm-fixed price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract by the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) for depot airframe maintenance and depot field team support of the P-8A fleet for the Navy, government of Australia and foreign military sales (FMS) customers.

“We are honored by this selection and look forward to providing world-class service to military operators of the P-8A in the U.S and overseas,” said Don Wetekam, Senior Vice President of Government Business Development. “While revenues will vary year to year, this will be a significant addition to the contract logistics sustainment services AAR provides to the government and defense marketplace.”

Airframe services to be provided by AAR and Boeing include scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, in-service repair, technical directive incorporation, airframe modifications and AOG support. AAR’s work on the P-8A airframe will be performed at AAR’s Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facilities in Indianapolis, Oklahoma City and Miami, which are part of its airframe MRO network, which is the largest in the Americas.
