AAR CORP., a prominent provider of aviation services to both commercial and government sectors, has completed the sale of its non-core Landing Gear Overhaul business to GA Telesis for US$51 million. This move aligns with AAR's broader strategy to streamline its portfolio and strengthen its focus on core aviation aftermarket services.
The company initially announced the agreement on December 20, 2024, stating that the divestiture supports its long-term growth objectives and is part of a wider plan to enhance operational efficiency and expand profit margins. By shedding non-core operations, AAR aims to redirect resources into areas deemed central to its strategic vision.
This transaction marks another milestone in AAR's efforts to sharpen its market positioning and invest in functions that drive sustainable, targeted growth. The company is placing increased emphasis on its core competencies, including aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO), as well as supply chain solutions and other aftermarket services.
With the divestiture now finalised, AAR is expected to continue building on its reputation in the aviation industry, focusing on delivering value-added services to airline operators, MROs, and OEMs globally.
