MIAMI- AAR CORP, a leading aviation and MRO service provider, announced a significant development in its partnership with United Airlines (UA).
The agreement, set to run through 2030, extends the existing airframe MRO services relationship and expands heavy maintenance commitments. Under the new agreement, AAR commits to ramping up its dedicated airframe narrow-body capacity.
The aim is to provide United Airlines with a minimum of 10 lines of maintenance support across AAR’s MRO facilities in Miami, Florida, and Rockford, Illinois.
AAR United MRO Partnership
To accommodate the increased maintenance workload, AAR plans to construct a new three-bay hangar adjacent to its existing nine-bay facility at Miami International Airport.
However, the project is pending approval from the Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners, with the county expected to reimburse the construction costs of the hangar.
With United Airlines’ expanded maintenance commitment, AAR foresees a substantial boost in career opportunities, creating more than 250 AAR positions in the Miami and Rockford communities.
This expansion benefits the workforce and contributes to Miami International Airport’s revenue growth.
AAR aims to enhance its workforce development efforts by hiring a diverse, highly-skilled team to support the additional maintenance workload. This approach aligns with the company’s well-established reputation for safety, quality, and reliability.
