PALM BAY, Fla., Sept. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- AAR Airlift Group,
Inc. categorically denies the allegations set forth in a complaint
filed by DynCorp International LLC in early September 2015 in the United States District
Court for the Middle District of Florida.
DynCorp's lawsuit alleges improper actions purportedly taken by
AAR Airlift in connection with a solicitation issued by the U.S.
Department of State Bureau of International Narcotics and Law
Enforcement Affairs, Office of Aviation for a federal government
contract (the "INL/A contract") supporting State's Worldwide
Aviation Support Services program. The lawsuit follows a
series of protests filed by DynCorp with the U.S. Government
Accountability Office, beginning on February
12, 2015, after DynCorp and AAR Airlift each submitted
proposals in October 2014 for the
award of the INL/A contract.
Steven Harrison, President of AAR
Airlift, stated: "This lawsuit is entirely without merit and
represents yet another tactic in an orchestrated campaign by
DynCorp to delay the Department of State from making a contract
award in support of a critical program. As the incumbent under the
current INL/A contract, DynCorp significantly benefits from any
delay in the awarding of the new INL/A contract."
Mr. Harrison continued, "We will vigorously defend our good
name, and we are confident that we will prevail in the
lawsuit."
