AAR delivers 500th aircraft to Alaska Airlines

AAR has unveiled that it has reached a maintenance milestone, the delivery of the 500th aircraft to longtime customer Alaska Airlines. For 12 years, AAR has performed aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), including heavy checks and drop-ins, component repair and management, on Alaska’s fleet of classic Boeing 737s and 737NG narrow-body aircraft. Most of the work has been performed at AAR’s MRO facility in Oklahoma City that has a service capacity ranging from 6 to 12 lines of maintenance, and performs approximately 1 million man hours a year at the facility; nearly 300,000f² with Alaska Airlines. AAR provides two continuous lines of overhaul maintenance for Alaska and additionally handles between 50 and 75 drop-in visits annually for the airline.
