AAR Spools Up New Major MRO Facility
The Rockford center, which recently secured U.S. FAA approval, will eventually house 500 workers.

AAR has begun hiring to ramp up work its new 238,000-sq-ft MRO facility in Rockford, Illinois. The location, which is about 70 miles east of AAR’s headquarters in Wood Dale, Illinois, will provide the company a significant MRO presence just outside the Chicago area, complementing its other major U.S. MRO centers in Duluth, Minnesota; Oklahoma City; Lake Charles, Louisiana; Miami and Indianapolis.
