WOOD DALE, Illinois – David P. Storch, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AAR (NYSE: AIR), will offer his outlook on the global aviation and defense industries as honored guest speaker at the Association of United States and European Aerospace Industry Executives (USAIRE) luncheon Friday, May 24, in Paris.

(SocGen), Credit Agricole-Corporate Investment Bank (CA-CIB), Sabena technics, Safran and the U.S. Embassy.
After posting four consecutive years of export growth, AAR was recognized earlier this week with a Presidential “E” Award by the U.S. Department of Commerce for making a significant contribution to the expansion of U.S. exports. AAR currently serves customers in 108 countries around the world.
