Aviation services provider AAR has added distribution support of select parts from American aviation manufacturer Woodward under its supplier capability contract with DLA Aviation.
Under this multiple year agreement, AAR will supply the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) with spare parts from Woodward’s fuel control product family. AAR holds an exclusive distribution agreement with Woodward as the single source of supply to the government in support of various military aircraft platforms. AAR will provide comprehensive and integrated supply chain management support and perform associated supply chain management functions to maximise the availability of parts to DLA. The relationship reduces supply volatility through improved material availability.
“AAR is proud to grow our strategic partnership with the DLA under our supplier capabilities contract,” said AAR senior vice president of distribution Frank Landrio. “Our new Woodward agreement will enhance the level of support we provide the US government and help promote increased warfighter readiness.”
AAR was the first non-OEM to be awarded the 20 year base supplier capabilities contract with the DLA, establishing a strategic relationship to provide total global supply chain support to the US Department of Defense and to US allies.
