AAR, a provider of value-added services to the aviation industry, has signed a two-year agreement with Hawaiian Airlines to provide maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services for the airline's Boeing 717 aircraft.
AAR will perform 10-year checks on 12 of Hawaiian's Boeing 717s and paint certain aircraft before they are returned to service. The aircraft will be flown from Hawaiian's base in Honolulu to AAR Aircraft Services – Miami, AAR's full-service maintenance and modifications facility located at Miami International Airport, where the work will be performed.
Donald Wetekam, group vice president for MRO operating segment at AAR, said: “We're pleased to expand our relationship with Hawaiian and include them among our regular heavy maintenance customers. We look forward to leveraging our experience with the 717 airframe to provide highly efficient maintenance services that minimize downtime and maximize the availability of Hawaiian's aircraft.”
Will AAR's MRO services help Hawaiian in providing better services?
