AAR, a provider of aviation services to commercial and government operators, MROs, and OEMs, and the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime signed a Supply Chain Alliance charter, formalising a commitment to strengthening joint support of the nation’s warfighter.
The charter advances a longstanding partnership between the entities and demonstrates a shared interest in enhancing responsiveness to the warfighter, customer wait time, and administrative lead time. The official partnership provides AAR a dedicated resource within the DLA to expedite contract award and execution processes. This enhances AAR’s position to effectively support OEM customers through increased efficiencies, including a streamlined contracting experience, reduction in labor hours, expedited delivery of products, and an opportunity to aggregate process improvement measures.
“This DLA alliance recognises AAR’s commitment to provide value-added services and continue growing our strategic partnership,” said Frank Landrio, AAR’s Senior Vice President of Distribution. “We are proud to be recognised as a top provider of supply chain management solutions and continue executing on our joint strategies to provide the best product and service possible to the warfighter.”
