Asia-Pacific MRO Expansion and Aftermarket Consolidation

AAR's proposed US$1.82 billion cash-and-preferred-share acquisition of a 65% MRO Holdings stake remains the defining consolidation event. ST Engineering's integrated civilian-MRO leadership change, MAG's Sepang Aircraft Engineering agreement, GMF AeroAsia's Muscat concession, Barnes Aerospace's ATL Turbine Services acquisition and FTAI-United's expanded CFM56-7B engine-exchange program reinforce capacity consolidation and flexible MRO models.
