\"\"LOS ANGELES (Jan. 16, 2018) \u2014 AECOM (NYSE:ACM), a premier, fully integrated global infrastructure firm, announced today that it has been awarded a nine-year contract by the U.S. Army Mission and Installation Contracting Command, Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia to provide rotary wing flight training instructor support services at Fort Rucker, Alabama. The US$442 million, cost-plus-fixed-fee contract, which successfully resolved a protest, includes a 12-month base period plus option years, and is expected to be completed by September 30, 2026. The value of the contract will be added to AECOM\u2019s backlog for the first quarter of fiscal year 2018.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are honored to strengthen our relationship with the U.S. Army by continuing to serve as its primary partner for rotary wing flight training,\u201d said Michael S. Burke, AECOM\u2019s chairman and chief executive officer. \u201cFor several years, we have been investing in our business to further differentiate our leading government services capabilities. Our continued partnership at Fort Rucker speaks to our success in these efforts. We look forward to safely and successfully delivering this contract for the U.S. Army.\u201d<\/p>\n

AECOM will continue to provide all personnel, supervision and other services necessary to perform on-going services for rotary wing flight training, flight training support and flight training service support.<\/p>\n

AECOM\u2019s rotary wing flight training organization provides classroom academic instruction and hands-on flight training.
