Wood Dale, Illinois, July 17, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AAR CORP. (NYSE: AIR), a leading provider of aviation services to commercial and government operators, MROs, and OEMs, has named Andrew Schmidt its Senior Vice President of AAR Digital Services and Trax.

Schmidt will work closely with the Trax founders and their leadership team to scale the Trax business by growing the customer base, enhancing customer support, and expanding product offerings through digital innovation. He will help to execute the Company’s strategy for Trax, which includes building a foundation for a new parts ecosystem in coordination with AAR and parts suppliers and more broadly incorporating AI into Trax’s offerings.

Under Schmidt’s leadership, AAR acquired and integrated Airinmar® and launched PAARTSTM Store, bringing the Company’s parts sales online to increase revenue and expand product reach to additional customers.
