AAR Corp’s subsidiary Airinmar has extended its warranty‑management and value‑engineering services with Air Methods, a leading civilian helicopter operator, for multiple years. The extension builds on a relationship that began in August 2020 and covers Air Methods’ fleet of more than 450 helicopters and fixed‑wing aircraft.
The agreement expands Airinmar’s existing identification, claim, recovery, and reporting of component warranties and adds value‑engineering support aimed at reducing repair costs and improving component availability. Air Methods’ Senior Vice President of Operations, Jay Mahen, said the partnership has helped the company meet safety and efficiency goals.
For AAR, the extension secures a recurring revenue stream in its high‑margin warranty‑management segment, reinforcing the company’s strategy to grow its service portfolio beyond parts supply. While the contract’s dollar value and duration were not disclosed, the multi‑year nature signals continued demand for Airinmar’s expertise in the civilian aviation aftermarket.
Airinmar’s General Manager, Matt Davies, highlighted that the extension will allow the company to continue working with Air Methods’ material‑management team to lower maintenance costs across the diverse fleet. The deal underscores AAR’s ability to win and retain large, complex contracts in a market where aging aircraft and rising delivery volumes drive demand for aftermarket services.
The extension aligns with broader industry trends, as aging fleets and increasing aircraft deliveries are boosting demand for warranty‑management and value‑engineering solutions. AAR’s focus on high‑margin services positions it to capture a growing share of the aftermarket, supporting the company’s outlook for continued growth in its Parts Supply and Warranty‑Management businesses.
