6 terms

mros technical

"a leading provider of aviation services to commercial and government operators, MROs, and OEMs"

MROs, or Maintenance, Repair, and Operations supplies, are the everyday items and tools companies need to keep their facilities running smoothly, such as parts, cleaning supplies, and equipment. For investors, MROs are important because they represent essential costs that can impact a company's profitability and efficiency over time. Managing these supplies effectively helps businesses operate reliably and maintain long-term success.

oems technical

"a leading provider of aviation services to commercial and government operators, MROs, and OEMs"

OEMs, or Original Equipment Manufacturers, are companies that produce the main components or products that other companies use to build finished goods. For investors, OEMs are important because their performance can influence the supply chain, manufacturing costs, and overall market trends in industries like technology, automotive, and electronics. Their success often reflects broader economic health and consumer demand.

enterprise resource planning (erp) technical

"integrates with Trax and other enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems"

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is a type of software that helps a business organize and manage its core activities—such as finance, supply chain, manufacturing, and human resources—within a unified system. It acts like a central hub that brings together different parts of a company, making operations more efficient and providing better data for decision-making. For investors, ERP systems can signal how well a company integrates and manages its resources, impacting overall performance and growth prospects.

rfqs technical

"most aircraft parts procurement relies on fragmented systems, email-driven RFQs, and manual quote comparison"

RFQs (requests for quotes) are messages an investor or broker sends to one or more dealers asking for a firm price to buy or sell a security, bond, or other financial instrument. They matter because they let investors compare actual offers, assess how easy it will be to trade (liquidity), and identify the best cost and timing — similar to asking several stores for a price before making a purchase.

aws technical

"Powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), the platform directly integrates with Aeroxchange's extensive ecosystem"

AWS is a major cloud computing platform that rents on-demand computing power, data storage and software tools to businesses and governments so they can run applications and store data without owning and maintaining lots of hardware. It matters to investors because cloud services tend to generate steady, recurring revenue and influence a company’s growth and profit margins—think of it like businesses renting utility-style IT capacity instead of buying the power plant.

agentic ai technical

"Airvoyant represents the first scalable solution to deliver agentic AI to airlines and MROs"

Agentic AI refers to computer systems that can make their own decisions and take actions without needing someone to tell them what to do each time. It's like giving a robot a degree of independence to solve problems or achieve goals on its own, which matters because it could change how we work and interact with technology in everyday life.

WOOD DALE, Ill., April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AAR CORP. (NYSE: AIR), a leading provider of aviation services to commercial and government operators, MROs, and OEMs, announced today the launch of Airvoyant, an AI-powered aviation procurement solution that connects buyers directly to suppliers, searches available inventory, requests and consolidates quotes, and guides users to a streamlined, one-click purchasing decision. Powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), the platform directly integrates with Aeroxchange's extensive ecosystem of more than 5,000 suppliers.

"These AI tools will reshape how customers source and procure parts, plan maintenance, and optimize operations."

Built for airlines and MROs, the Airvoyant platform automates the traditionally manual parts sourcing process and integrates with Trax and other enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, embedding intelligent procurement directly into customers' existing operational workflows.

The platform's AI Agent workforce analyzes inbound supplier quotes and generates purchase recommendations based on historical procurement data, including prior transactions, pricing patterns, and supplier performance. By surfacing insights not readily accessible through manual review, the Airvoyant platform lays the foundation for autonomous ordering.

Additional AI agents focused on demand consolidation, vendor optimization, and automated negotiation are expected to launch later this year, expanding Airvoyant's intelligent procurement capabilities.

Delta Air Lines and Air Canada are collaborating with Airvoyant as subject matter experts, providing early feedback and real-world perspective to help shape the evolution of the platform.

Air Europa, Allegiant, Atlas Air, JetBlue, Thai Airways, and Virgin Atlantic are serving as launch partners and advisors, experiencing how Airvoyant can transform their MRO parts procurement.

Built natively on AWS, Airvoyant benefits from a highly resilient cloud architecture, enabling real-time processing, seamless integration with enterprise systems, and continuous learning capabilities across its AI agents. This approach ensures customers can adopt advanced automation with confidence, backed by industry-leading security and compliance standards. 

Today, most aircraft parts procurement relies on fragmented systems, email-driven RFQs, and manual quote comparison. Airvoyant overcomes this complexity with a unified, AI-driven system that optimizes sourcing decisions, improves visibility into lead times, strengthens supply chain planning, and unlocks measurable savings on parts spend.

Customers will also benefit from a direct integration with Aeroxchange, enabling the agent-driven platform to instantly access a broad, trusted network of vendors. The connectivity of solutions accelerates sourcing, expands supplier reach, and enhances decision-making across the procurement lifecycle, bringing greater speed, efficiency, and intelligence to airlines and MROs.

Following Trax and Aerostrat, Airvoyant becomes the third company in AAR's growing aviation software portfolio, reinforcing AAR's long-term commitment to developing the next generation of software for airline and MRO operations.

"AAR continues to invest in our transformative software platforms to bring increased efficiency to all corners of the aviation industry," said John M. Holmes, AAR's Chairman, President and CEO. "Airvoyant represents the first scalable solution to deliver agentic AI to airlines and MROs. These AI tools will reshape how customers source and procure parts, plan maintenance, and optimize operations."
