Illinois is a crossroads of aviation
With AAR’s 240,000 square-foot heavy maintenance hangar at the Chicago-Rockford International Airport and its headquarters in Woodale, aviation thrives in Illinois. “We are a global aviation services provider, and what we do is fix and fly aircraft all over the world,” says Greg Dellinger, Director of Outreach and Engagement. “We’ll get you a whole airplane if you want it, one or two pieces at a time.”
AAR helps careers take flight
AAR partners with colleges in Chicago, where they train students to work with sheet metal and the structure of an aircraft. After the program, they are guaranteed an interview with AAR. “And as I always tell people, hey, they hired me, they’ll hire anybody,” jokes Dellinger.
