NEWS The Lake Charles repair station previously handled
European aircraft under a short-term approval granted through AAR’s EASA-certifi ed maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility in Miami. The EASA certifi cation, numbered “145.6537” and received February 3, is unique to the Lake Charles site. The facility received its FAA certifi cation for domestic aircraft in November. “This is another major step forward for our Lake Charles
repair station, and it speaks to the hard work of the team there to keep the facility progressing,” says Danny Martinez, general manager, Lake Charles, AAR Aircraft Services. “Combined with the FAA certifi cation, the EASA designation helps clear the path for us to work on a multitude of aircraft and positions us to continue to ramp up.” The Lake Charles MRO, one of six that AAR operates
in North America, provides a wide range of services, from scheduled maintenance and structural repairs to re- engineering aircraft interiors. AAR occupies fi ve hangers at the site for a total of 460,000 square feet of space to accommodate a variety of wide-body aircraft. Construction of an additional 111,000-square-foot hangar is scheduled for completion this summer. The repair center operates as part of AAR’s nationwide
1MRO Network, which also includes facilities in Indianapolis, Miami, Oklahoma City, Duluth, MN, and Hot Springs, AR. AAR’s 1MRO approach provides customers with access to integrated repair, engineering, IT, parts services and increased fl exibility from multiple locations throughout the country. Additionally, airframe parts used to perform the work in Lake Charles are sourced through AAR’s Aviation Supply Chain business. AAR is the No. 1 provider of MRO services in North America and one of the top three in the world, according to industry rankings.
