The Oklahoma Department of Aerospace and Aeronautics commitment to growing the aerospace industry on Oklahoma is evident.  To encourage investment at Will Rogers World Airport, the ODAA committed a $19 million grant to the Oklahoma City Airport Trust to incentivize private investment.  As part of this initiative, AAR Corp will expand it’s Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) capacity with the Construction of Hangar 4.

This project will be the first delivered under the Construction Manager at Risk delivery method for any city affiliated entity.  To accomplish the task using a new delivery method by the “end certain” delivery date to the tenant, the Oklahoma City Airport Trust turned to Kirkpatrick Program Management for leadership.  Upon completion in 2026, the new 82,0000 SF repair facility will allow for more maintenance lines for Alaska Airlines, adding more than 225 aviation jobs in Oklahoma City.
