AAR Corp. unveiled Airvoyant, an AI-driven procurement platform, at MRO Americas, targeting airlines and MROs with automated parts sourcing from over 5,000 suppliers via Aeroxchange integration. The platform promises 20-30% procurement cost reductions by replacing manual email-based processes with AI agents that analyze quotes, rank recommendations using historical data, and enable one-click purchases.
Launched April 21 from Wood Dale, Illinois, Airvoyant runs on Amazon Web Services and integrates seamlessly with Trax and other ERP systems. Buyers search inventories, consolidate quotes, and receive data-driven decisions based on past transactions, pricing trends, and supplier performance.
Agentic AI handles quote evaluation instantly, with planned additions for vendor optimization and automated negotiations later in 2026. AAR’s new subsidiary will build a transaction data lake to refine these capabilities.
This addresses chronic aviation supply chain fragmentation, improving parts availability and operational efficiency for commercial and government operators. By leveraging Aeroxchange’s network, Airvoyant avoids the need for customers to develop their own supplier bases, accelerating MRO workflows amid persistent shortages.
