AAR Eaton EMEA MRO expansion
AAR and Eaton have joined forces to beef up aircraft repair support across EMEA, promising faster turnarounds for Western airlines and military operators.
AAR and Eaton announced on October 17, 2025 that they will expand their EMEA repair footprint through a strategic partnership focused on MRO (maintenance, repair, and overhaul) services. The collaboration pairs Eaton’s aerospace product expertise with AAR’s logistics and supply-chain capabilities to give Western airlines and operators better access to parts, technical support and quicker shop visits across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Under the agreement formalized on October 17, 2025, both companies said their combined resources will target reduced aircraft downtime and improved fleet reliability for commercial and military customers. Eaton brings component know‑how and distribution strengths while AAR contributes regional logistics, inventory management and repair-station relationships. Together they plan to optimise turnaround times without changing operator maintenance programs.
AAR Eaton EMEA MRO: what operators can expect
Operators in the region should see practical improvements rather than flashy headlines: shorter AOG-to-repair cycles, broader parts availability across regional hubs, and coordinated technical support spanning Eaton product lines and AAR-engineered repair solutions. The move is aimed at reinforcing the Western aviation aftermarket in EMEA and supporting both companies’ growth in that sector.
- Faster turnarounds through co-located stocks and logistics.
- Broader parts and component coverage backed by Eaton and AAR expertise.
- Expanded AAR Eaton EMEA MRO reach to reduce AOG time for operators.
The partnership is positioned as an aftermarket play: scaling existing capabilities rather than launching new aircraft programs. Specific facility openings, staffing plans and regional hub locations were not detailed in the announcement. Expect follow-up releases from AAR and Eaton with operational rollouts and service points as the network expands across EMEA.
