Mr. Hauner said he was honored and pleased to be recognized, adding that his greatest achievements at Telair were becoming a supplier to Airbus and Boeing.
“We were able to demonstrate to both companies that Telair could provide technologically advanced products and services to meet their requirements,” Mr. Hauner said, adding, “…even though I have been honored for lifetime achievement, I still have a few more years.”
Group Vice President for AAR’s Structures and Systems segment, Terry D.
