AAR secures more than $50M maintenance, logistics support services contract for US Marshals Service prisoner transport aircraft

AAR recently secured a five-year, $51 million U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) contract to perform support services for Justice Prisoner and Alien Transportation System Boeing 737 series aircraft.

The agreement covers maintenance and logistical work for the Justice Prisoner and Alien Transportation System (JPATS) owned and operated fleet.

The aerospace and defense contractor will provide labor, supplies, tools, materials, and equipment in support of the large aircraft at the USMS facility located at Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City, Okla. AAR’s Oklahoma City repair station will support the contracted effort.

The contract also includes full support services for another Boeing 737 series aircraft located at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas, Nev. USMS noted AAR has been supporting the government agency as either a prime or a subcontractor performing aircraft maintenance, FBO services, supply chain, and depot services for more than three decades.

“AAR is proud to expand our trusted partnership with the U.S. Marshals Service,” Stan Mayer, general manager of AAR’s Oklahoma MRO. “AAR delivers mission-tailored services and capabilities based on commercial best practices that result in quality work and cost savings for the customer.”

AAR officials said the firm supports commercial and government customers through two operating segments: Aviation Services and Expeditionary Services.
