AAR CORP., a renowned provider of aviation services to commercial and government operators, MROs, and OEMs, commenced the groundbreaking ceremony for its expanded maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) facility in Oklahoma City earlier today. The event brought together more than 150 representatives from AAR, Alaska Airlines, state and local government officials, and partner organizations, all joining hands to celebrate the initiation of construction for AAR’s new three-bay facility. This facility is being built adjacent to the company’s existing operations at Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City.
The new facility is designed to add over 80,000 square feet of hangar and warehouse space to AAR’s footprint and is specifically tailored to accommodate all variants of the Boeing 737, including the latest 737-10 model. AAR’s expansion in Oklahoma City is in direct support of a recently extended maintenance commitment from Alaska Airlines, a long-standing and valued customer of AAR for more than two decades. The new airframe MRO facility is anticipated to commence operations in January 2026.
