AAR CORP., a leading provider of aviation services to commercial and government operators, MROs, and OEMs, has signed multiple long-term distribution agreements with Ontic that expand the companies' existing defense and commercial partnerships and enhance service offerings for the U.S. government and worldwide commercial customers.
