AAR Becomes the First MRO Operator to Sign Data-Sharing Pact with FAA

AAR announces it has become the first MRO operator to agree to voluntarily share safety information with the Federal Aviation Administration. AAR recently signed an agreement to take part in the FAA’s Aviation Safety Information Analysis and Sharing program (ASIAS), which is designed to help MRO operators avoid serious and potentially costly safety issues and the FAA to identify high-risk areas.

“The FAA is very pleased to have AAR launch the ASIAS program among MROs,” says Steven Douglas, manager, Aircraft Maintenance Division, for the FAA. “We believe that sharing and analyzing safety data are important for the aviation industry as a whole.”

AAR says safety and performance are the cornerstones of its 1MRO Network, comprised of six aircraft maintenance facilities in Indianapolis; Oklahoma City; Miami; Duluth, MN; Hot Springs, AR and Lake Charles, LA.

“We understand that voluntary reporting is critical to overall safety in the aviation industry and are excited to partner with the FAA’s efforts,” says Art Smith, AAR vice president and chief quality officer. “Although we are now officially signed on to the ASIAS program, our customers and other partners know AAR has long had a culture and practice of sharing safety information.”
