AAR Aircraft Services shutting down Indianapolis operations INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Illinois-based AAR Aircraft Services sent a notice to the Indiana Department of Workforce Development stating that they are planning to close their Indianapolis facility. The aerospace company plans on laying off 329 local workers on a rolling basis starting on Feb. 15 and continuing through February 2027. AAR provides maintenance and inspection services for a wide range of aircrafts, including Airbus, Boeing, and Embraer. AAR has leased space in the Indianapolis International Airport since 2004. In November, AAR announced that the company has acquired HAECCO Americas for $78 million. Because of this acquisition, AAR is taking over a facility in North Carolina and a facility in Florida. Strauss Borrelli PLLC, a class action law firm, is investigating AAR due to a possible violation of the WARN act. This law requires companies to notify employees, in writing, 60 days before a mass layoff would be in effect. AAR filed paper work on Dec. 23, which is 55 days before the first round of layoffs would begin. Strauss Borrelli believes that AAR employees may be entitled to 60 days of severance pay and benefits. ...read more read less
