Chromalloy has announced the signing of a distribution and license agreement with AAR, under which AAR will exclusively distribute the company’s PMA (parts manufacturer approval) parts for the CF6-80C2 engine high-pressure turbine (HPT) Stage 1 and Stage 2 blades across the global aftermarket. However, some account coverage exclusions apply due to Chromalloy’s existing customer agreements.
“This agreement builds on the long relationship between AAR and Chromalloy for connecting innovative solutions to our global aftermarket customers. The combination of Chromalloy’s engineering and manufacturing capability with AAR’s global aero-engine channel access ensures that our PMA solutions are accessible by operators and repair stations in every region,” stated Chromalloy’s Chief Executive Officer, Chris Celtruda.
Sal Marino, AAR’s Senior Vice President of Parts Supply, commented, “AAR is pleased to partner with Chromalloy and to expand our aftermarket solution offerings to include Chromalloy’s CF6-80C2 parts. AAR provides a complete range of solutions for engine repair facilities, ensuring access to the best value combination for our customers.”
The agreement spans an initial term of three years, with AAR having made an initial provisioning order to ensure inventory readiness for the immediate global distribution of Chromalloy’s CF6-80C2 HPT Stage 1 and Stage 2 turbine blades.
Chromalloy remains dedicated to the ongoing design and development of PMA and designated engineering representative (DER) solutions, offering FAA-approved aftermarket alternatives that ensure best-value options for turbine engine service and restoration.
