AAR Corp. (NYSE:AIR) is one of the Best Airport Stocks to Buy According to Hedge Funds. On May 19, AAR Corp. (NYSE:AIR) announced the addition of A320 slat repair to its Component MRO service offering. Management noted that this further deepens the company’s authorized partnership with Airbus in the Asia-Pacific region.

For reference, slats are movable panels on the leading edge of an aircraft’s wings that help generate lift during takeoff and landing. The maintenance of these panels is a critical and recurring need for any A320 operator. By adding this capability, the company has broadened an already meaningful portfolio of Airbus proprietary component repairs at its facility in Chonburi, Thailand, which already covers rudders, flaps, and sharklets.

​Notably, the expanded coverage now includes both the A320ceo and the A320neo variants of the two most dominant versions of one of the world’s most widely operated narrowbody aircraft families.

In addition, on May 12, the company held its investor day. Management reaffirmed guidance for the fiscal fourth quarter and full year 2026. Fourth quarter sales are expected to grow by 19% to 21%, while the full-year sales are expected to grow by 17% to 19%.

(NYSE:AIR) is a leading independent aerospace and defense aftermarket services provider that specializes in maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO), parts supply, and integrated solutions for commercial airlines and government fleets.
