Aircraft spares specialist AAR is offering a cost-effective parts inventory management program to relieve airlines’ cash flow headaches. “There’s no question airlines in this region are looking for ways to streamline their inventory cost structure,” said AAR’s vice president of sales for the Aviation Supply Chain Group in the Asia-Pacific region, Paul Richardson.

AAR endeavors to relieve airline customers from the burden of investing millions of dollars in inventory and management services, freeing capital for reallocation to their core business. The U.S. company estimates that as much as 50 percent of a carrier’s inventory can consist of unneeded surplus.
