BERKSHIRE, England, Feb. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- AAR (NYSE: AIR) subsidiary Airinmar, a leading independent provider of component repair cycle management and aircraft warranty solutions, has signed a multi-year support services extension with Philippine Airlines (PAL).

Working in conjunction with PAL's Aircraft Material Management team, Airinmar will provide a full suite of support services covering both aircraft warranty and value engineering.

"We will continue to leverage Airinmar's comprehensive engineering knowledge and expertise to help drive down PAL's operational maintenance costs and thereby contribute to our overall sustained improvement goals."

Airinmar's value engineering support will continue to deliver cost savings through supplier compliance with PAL's contracted component repairs and minimize component flight-hour out-of-scope repair charges.

Airinmar's aircraft warranty management services cover the identification, claim, and recovery of the multiple aircraft warranty entitlements provided by Airbus, Boeing, and de Havilland and their suppliers.

"We are delighted to extend our successful relationship with PAL and continue working alongside their Aircraft Material Management team to reduce maintenance costs across PAL's multiple fleet types," said Matt Davies, Airinmar's General Manager.
