AAR extended the power-by-the-hour component support contract with Volotea

AA’s ability to provide European component and logistic support across Volotea's rapidly evolving and growing network of 17 operating bases and operations to over 100 cities was key to this extension.
The agreement includes the positioning of Main Base Kits at Volotea’s operating bases throughout Europe and access to AAR’s component pool inventory from logistic centres in Europe.

The partnership started in 2016 with four A319 aircraft and the fleet has grown now to nearly 40 aircraft today.
