AAR CORP. has signed an agreement with Eaton to become an authorised service centre for its commercial aerospace customers across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA).
Under this new partnership, AAR will handle local repair and overhaul of Eaton’s hydraulic components for large commercial aircraft. These services will take place at AAR’s Component Services facility in Amsterdam, ensuring faster turnaround times and improved regional support.
The agreement strengthens Eaton’s repair capabilities by guaranteeing the use of official repair documentation and genuine OEM spare parts. This consistency ensures that quality and safety standards remain at the highest level throughout the service process.
Matt Norman, Vice President of Aftermarket and Commercial Services for Eaton’s Aerospace Group, said, “Our strategic agreement with AAR demonstrates our commitment to improving customer satisfaction by offering airlines expanded options for hydraulic pump repairs and extending our collaboration beyond spare parts distribution.”
Initially, AAR will focus on hydraulic pump repairs for commercial operators within the EMEA region. However, the company plans to expand its capabilities to include additional products and territories over time.
This partnership builds on AAR’s established reputation in aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services, while also supporting Eaton’s goal of enhancing customer service and reliability across global markets.
By combining AAR’s technical expertise with Eaton’s trusted aerospace components, the collaboration offers airlines greater operational flexibility and reduced maintenance downtime.
In essence, the new authorised service centre in Amsterdam represents a strategic milestone for both companies, reinforcing their shared commitment to innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction in the global aerospace industry.
