A paradox at the heart of aviation procurement
Airlines invest heavily in aircraft and engine parts, but the actual act of sourcing and acquiring them has always remained deeply manual. Quotes gathered by hand. Suppliers compared one by one. Procurement decisions made under pressure, with incomplete information. For an industry built on precision and reliability, this gap has persisted for too long.
Today at MRO Americas in Orlando, that changes. Datmos and Airvoyant, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AAR Corp, officially launched: an agentic AI platform that analyzes quotes, ranks suppliers, and automates procurement decisions at a speed no human team can match. The first of its kind in aerospace.
