Illinois-based MRO provider AAR has signed a letter of intent (LOI) with the Russian-Italian SuperJet International marketing consortium to become a service centre for the Sukhoi Superjet 100 (SSJ100) aircraft. As part of a network of service centres for the Russian regional aircraft, AAR aims to provide operators with heavy airframe maintenance, modifications, interior and exterior refurbishments, unscheduled maintenance services and line maintenance. Field teams will provide off-site support. "In addition to standard MRO services, AAR can serve as a one-stop shop for SSJ100 operators, offering them a wide variety of additional support services including component repair, supply chain management, engineering services, landing gear overhaul and composite repair," said Donald Wetekam, group VP for MRO at AAR.
