AAR Gets Busy In Indy

Receives FAA Certification

The FAA has certified AAR Corporation as the new operators of a state-of-the-art maintenance facility United Airlines abandoned last year in Indianapolis (IN). The new operation could breathe life into Indy's ailing aviation industry in the wake of the United plant closure and the ATA Airlines bankruptcy.

It could also be a boon to many of the United workers who were laid off when the company closed the 800,000 square foot facility. The plant had been built with more than $300 million in tax incentives.

"This FAA certification represents a significant milestone in the expansion of our airframe maintenance capability and serves as a testament to the hard work and experience of our Indianapolis leadership team," said David P. Storch, president and chief executive officer of AAR.

At the height of its operation, the United plant employed about 1,200 people. As AAR gears up, it plans to hire about 200 workers.
