Commercial and government operator, MRO and OEM aviation services provider AAR CORP has completed its acquisition of Aircraft Reconfig Technologies (ART).
“This acquisition adds FAA Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) to AAR’s Engineering Services capabilities, which will enable AAR to issue supplemental type certificates (STCs) and Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) without reliance on third parties,” said Tom Hoferer, AAR’s Senior Vice President of Repair & Engineering.
“Having an ODA enhances our aircraft cabin interior design, manufacturing, and certification offerings, and we are excited to welcome ART to the AAR team.”
AAR acquired ART, which specialises in passenger aircraft reconfiguration for global airlines, from ZIM Aircraft Cabin Solutions. AAR announced the acquisition plans in late 2025 which involved USD 35 million in an all-cash transaction, subject to customary adjustments.
