AAR expands distribution with Otto deal
The agreement expands OEM distribution and strengthens support for business aviation operators upgrading their avionics systems.

AAR has signed an agreement with Otto Instrument Service covering sale and support of the LASEREF IV inertial reference system product line, adding to its OEM distribution portfolio in business aviation.

The agreement positions AAR to manage availability and global deployment of the avionics unit, which is installed across a range of business aircraft for replacement and upgrade programmes. Otto’s product expertise is combined with AAR’s international supply chain network and distribution infrastructure.

“This agreement further strengthens AAR's position as a premier global distributor and expands access into the business aviation market,” says Frank Landrio, senior vice president of distribution at AAR CORP. “In coordination with Otto, we look forward to enhancing the availability, logistics and technical support for operators upgrading to the latest technology.”

“AAR's global footprint and proven performance in avionics logistics make it an ideal distributor for this system,” says Chuck Farley, vice president of sales and contracts at Otto Instrument Service. “Together, we can deliver faster, more efficient support for business and general aviation customers worldwide.”
