AAR to perform heavy maintenance for Allegiant Air

AAR has signed a five-year agreement with Allegiant Air 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.
