AAR (NYSE: AIR) announced today that it has signed a five-year agreement with Allegiant Air, LLC to provide maintenance and modification services for Allegiant’s fleet of 46 MD-80 aircraft.
Scheduled maintenance work will be performed at AAR’s MRO facilities in Miami and Oklahoma City. Additionally, AAR’s Indianapolis facility will be available to support Allegiant’s unscheduled maintenance requirements and Allegiant may request that AAR provide technical and engineering support services from various field locations. The contract builds upon an October 2008 agreement, under which AAR was contracted to perform maintenance on six of Allegiant’s MD-80 aircraft.
“We’ve built an excellent working relationship with Allegiant and are pleased to be taking the MD-80 maintenance program to a new level,” said Donald J. Wetekam, AAR’s Group Vice President of MRO. “Our team is committed to providing reliable service with competitive turn times that will enable Allegiant to operate its fleet cost-effectively while maintaining their high levels of passenger service.”
AAR leverages its diverse MRO, engineering and logistics capabilities to offer airlines customized, integrated solutions that lower costs, increase asset availability and ensure high levels of quality, safety and service. With heavy maintenance facilities located throughout the United States, AAR is the second largest independent MRO provider in North America and ranks among the top ten in the world.
