AAR CORP., a prominent provider of aviation services to commercial and government operators, MROs, and OEMs, has announced a significant agreement with United Airlines to extend their existing airframe MRO services relationship through 2030. The agreement also includes an expansion of AAR’s heavy maintenance commitments to support United’s growing fleet.
As part of the agreement, AAR will increase its dedicated airframe narrow-body capacity to provide United Airlines with a minimum of 10 lines of maintenance support across AAR’s MRO facilities in Miami, Florida, and Rockford, Illinois. To accommodate the additional workload, AAR will construct a new three-bay hangar adjacent to its existing nine-bay facility at Miami International Airport, pending approval by the Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners. The construction costs for the new hangar are expected to be reimbursed by Miami-Dade County.
