AAR CORP. has added distribution support of select Woodward, Inc. (Woodward) parts under its supplier capability contract with DLA Aviation, a major subordinate command of the Defence Logistics Agency (DLA).
Under this multiple-year agreement, AAR will supply DLA with spare parts from Woodward’s fuel control product family to which AAR holds an exclusive distribution agreement with Woodward as the single source of supply to the government for items sole source to Woodward in support of various military aircraft platforms.

The relationship reduces supply volatility through improved material availability.
