AAR CORP. (NYSE: AIR), a leading provider of aviation services to
commercial and government operators, MROs, and OEMs, announced
today that Billy Nolen has been elected to AAR’s Board of
Directors, effective immediately.
Mr. Nolen, 66, brings more than 30 years of aviation experience
across safety, operations, and regulatory affairs. He recently
served as acting FAA Administrator and is currently the Chief
Safety Officer at Archer Aviation Inc., a leading air mobility
company known for developing electric vertical takeoff and landing
(eVTOL) aircraft. While at the FAA, Mr. Nolen revamped
certification requirements and airport-focused safety management
systems and earlier served as the FAA’s Associate Administrator for
Aviation Safety.
Mr. Nolen’s aviation experience began during his service in the
U.S. Army, where he was an airplane and helicopter pilot and a
safety officer. Following his military experience, Mr. Nolen moved
into commercial aviation, becoming a pilot for American Airlines.
There, Nolen transitioned to managing the company’s Operations
Aviation Safety Action Partnership program before assuming a Senior
Manager of Flight Safety position. He transitioned to Airlines for
America, where he was the Senior Vice President of Safety,
Security, and Operations, and to Qantas Group, where he was the
Executive Manager of Group Safety and Health. Nolen later joined
WestJet as Vice President of Safety, Security, and Quality.
“Mr. Nolen brings a unique combination of commercial,
government, and military expertise in aviation and a vison for the
future of the industry. He will add to the breadth of experience we
have on our Board and help guide the continued execution of our
strategy,” said John M. Holmes, AAR’s Chairman, President and CEO.
“AAR prioritizes the safety of flight in all that we do. We look
forward to advancing our ‘Quality first. Safety always.’ culture by
drawing from Mr. Nolen’s strong safety background.”
“I admire AAR’s proactive approach to safety, including fidelity
to its corporate safety management system program,” said Mr. Nolen.
“Safety is paramount in aviation, and I’m honored to join a Board
with values tied so closely to my own.”
