AAR wins P-8A Poseidon engine overhaul contract

AAR has been awarded a five-year indefinite delivery / indefinite quantity contract with an aggregate ceiling value of approximately $1.2 billion by the U.S. Navy’s Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) to perform engine depot maintenance and repair for its P-8A Poseidon Aircraft fleet. This new award follows a recently announced award under which AAR will continue to perform P-8A airframe maintenance for the U.S. Navy. Beginning October 2024, AAR, along with strategic partner Delta TechOps, will provide program management, supply chain management, engineering support, and maintenance and repair services to increase engine asset availability for the Navy’s growing fleet. The additional engine maintenance capability achieved through this partnership with AAR will enable the U.S. Navy to continue flying the P-8A and complete its vital national security mission. This contract is an important step forward in AAR’s strategy to grow and advance its commercial derivative business through the delivery of integrated solutions. It is also expected to increase the volume of engine part sales in the Company’s Part Supply segment. “AAR’s tailored solutions integrate government and commercial capabilities to provide parts supply, maintenance, and other services to meet customers’ unique mission-critical needs,” said Nicholas Gross, AAR’s Senior Vice President of Integrated Solutions. “We are proud to expand our support of the Navy’s maritime patrol and reconnaissance mission through P-8A maintenance and repair.” For Editorial Inquiries Contact : Editor Kym Bergmann at [email protected] For Advertising Inquiries Contact: Group Sales Director Simon Hadfield at [email protected]
