AAR Breaks Ground on Facility Expansion at Will Rogers Airport
AAR CORP., a provider of aviation services to commercial and government operators, broke ground on the expansion of its maintenance, repair, and overhaul facility in Oklahoma City earlier today.
Representatives from AAR, Alaska Airlines, state and local government, and partner organizations gathered to celebrate the groundbreaking on the new three-bay facility, which is being constructed adjacent to the company’s existing facility at Will Rogers World Airport.
The new facility will provide AAR with an additional 80,000 square feet of hangar and warehouse space, and the project supports an expanded maintenance commitment from Alaska Airlines. Funding for the project was made possible through a grant secured by Oklahoma legislators, with the balance expected to be funded through rent concessions from the airport.
“Today’s groundbreaking has been made possible thanks to collaborative efforts across AAR and Alaska Airlines, partnerships with Oklahoma City Airport Trust, and state and local representatives who are passionate about expanding aviation in Oklahoma,” said AAR Chairman John Holmes.
