AAR and Gulf Technics Partner to provide supply chain solution for Gulf Air

AAR has partnered with Gulf Technics to provide an integrated supply chain and component repair solution for Gulf Air, the national carrier of the Kingdom of Bahrain. Work on the five-year program commenced in April 2011. The partnership will combine parts supply, component repair, distribution, information technology, and logistics capabilities to help Gulf Air cost-effectively and safely operate its Airbus fleet. AAR and Gulf Technics will manage the rotable components supply chain for fourteen A320, ten A330 and four A340 aircraft. In addition to the rotable program, AAR and Gulf Technics (GT) are exploring a joint supply chain and component repair capability, outlined in an LOA signed by both companies in March 2011.
