NEW - AAR has expanded its MRO capacity and capabilities with the acquisition of Avborne Heavy Maintenance, an independent provider of heavy maintenance checks, modifications, installations and painting services.

The move adds 226,000 square feet of modern hangar space at Miami International Airport, 467 aviation maintenance technicians (AMTs) and Airbus heavy maintenance capabilities. The new AAR MRO will operate as AAR Aircraft Services - Miami.

With this acquisition, AAR now operates 1.3 million square feet of hangar space and our global team of more than 2,000 AMTs is ready to help you keep your fleet flying safely - and generating revenue.

AAR provides major maintenance inspections, line maintenance, aircraft modifications and upgrades to the world's major regional and cargo airline fleets, and for the U.S military and government agencies. Our industry-leading capabilities include aircraft inspection and repair; major airframe modifications; avionic service and installations; structural repair; exterior and interior refurbishment; and complete engineering service and support. AAR currently operates four major maintenance facilities:

AAR Aircraft Services - Miami

Additional capabilities include passenger-to-freighter conversions, bridging checks, interior modifications, avionics upgrades, structural modifications, corrosion control programs, Airworthiness Directives & Service Bulletin compliance, damage repair and non-destructive testing.

AAR Aircraft Services - Indianapolis

Located at Indianapolis International Airport, our world-class facility comprises 10 bays specially designed to reduce maintenance cycle times and keep aircraft in service longer. Five of ten temperature-regulated hangar bays utilize innovative permanent dock structures that make aircraft maintenance more efficient, providing easy access to all parts of the aircraft and reducing aircraft turn times.

AAR Aircraft Services - Oklahoma

Located at Will Rogers World Airport, our 300,000-square-foot, full-service facility features seven hangers supporting five "nose-to-tail" narrow-body aircraft maintenance lines that provide services for 727, 737, DC-9, MD-80/90 and regional aircraft. For three consecutive years, AAR's Oklahoma operation, among others at AAR, earned the FAA's highest award for aviation maintenance technician training, the FAA Diamond Award.
