GA Telesis has officially completed the acquisition of AAR CORP.’s Landing Gear Overhaul business, along with its Wheels & Brakes business unit.
The newly acquired operations will be fully integrated into the GA Telesis MRO Services Division under the leadership of Pastor Lopez, president of MRO Services, and rebranded as GA Telesis Landing Gear Services.
This strategic acquisition significantly strengthens GA Telesis’ capabilities in the maintenance, repair, and overhaul of landing gear systems for a wide range of commercial and military aircraft, including those manufactured by Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, and Embraer. In addition, the inclusion of specialized wheel and brake repair and overhaul services enhances the company’s comprehensive aftermarket service offerings–positioning the company as the largest independent landing gear MRO in the Americas.
The transaction also brings High-Velocity Oxy-Fuel (HVOF) coating technology into GA Telesis’ growing portfolio, enabling the company to deliver advanced surface treatment solutions to improve the longevity and durability of critical aircraft components.
“We are thrilled to welcome the new teams and capabilities into the GA Telesis Ecosystem™,” Abdol Moabery, president and CEO of GA Telesis, said. “With this acquisition complete, we are in an even stronger position to provide our airline and military customers with world-class solutions across an expanded range of services.”
“The expansion of our landing systems capabilities is a major milestone in addressing capacity constraints in the market,” Pastor Lopez, president of MRO Services at GA Telesis, said. “The integration of these new business units with our existing operations will drive greater operational efficiency and value for our customers worldwide.”
