AAR expands ATR product line by acquiring Island Air inventory, tooling

AAR, a leading integrator of aviation supply chain solutions, has expanded its ATR parts offerings by purchasing the entire ATR inventory, plus tooling, of Honolulu-based Island Air, which recently phased out its ATR operations. The acquisition deepens AAR’s commitment to providing global, customer-facing solutions to the ATR market. The inventory will be integrated into AAR’s existing ATR supply chain and strategically positioned at the Company’s distribution hubs in the United States, Singapore and Hannover, Germany. This is the first ATR inventory package AAR has purchased since entering the ATR market earlier this year when it bought ATR inventory from ASL Aviation subsidiary ACLAS Global as part of a PBH agreement with ASL. AAR has a dedicated ATR product line team based in the UK to serve ATR customer parts requirements globally.
