(NYSE: AIR), a leading provider of aviation services to commercial and government operators, MROs, and OEMs, today announced that John M. Holmes, President and Chief Executive Officer of AAR has been named Chairman of the Board of Directors following the retirement of David P. Storch, the Company’s Chairman for 18 years.
