AAR Corp has launched Airvoyant, an artificial intelligence driven procurement platform built for airlines and MRO providers. The system connects buyers directly to suppliers, searches available inventory, requests and consolidates quotes, and guides users toward a single click purchasing decision. The Illinois based company estimates the platform can cut procurement costs by 20 to 30 percent by compressing how parts are searched, sourced, and acquired.
The platform runs on Amazon Web Services and integrates directly with the Aeroxchange ecosystem of more than 5,000 suppliers. It also connects with Trax and other enterprise resource planning systems, placing automated procurement inside the operational workflows that airlines and repair stations already use. Airvoyant's AI agents analyze inbound supplier quotes and generate purchase recommendations based on historical procurement data, including prior transactions, pricing patterns, and supplier performance. AAR says additional agents focused on demand consolidation, vendor optimization, and automated negotiation are expected later this year.
Delta Air Lines and Air Canada are collaborating on the platform as subject matter experts, while Air Europa, Allegiant, Atlas Air, JetBlue, Thai Airways, and Virgin Atlantic are serving as launch partners and advisors. Airvoyant becomes the third company in AAR's aviation software portfolio, following the maintenance software provider Trax and the planning tool Aerostrat.
