AAR Corporation Earns Prestigious 2026 Great Place To Work Certification

AAR CORP., recognized as a leading provider of parts, repair services, and software solutions in the aviation aftermarket, is thrilled to announce that it has once again achieved the esteemed Great Place To Work Certification™ for the year 2026. This marks the second consecutive year the company has earned this significant recognition, further solidifying its reputation as an employer of choice in the industry.

The certification is a direct result of feedback collected from AAR's dedicated team members through the company's comprehensive engagement survey, where employees had the opportunity to share their experiences regarding the workplace environment. Key strengths highlighted by this year's survey results include high ratings for safety protocols, the meaningfulness of the work performed, pride in the company's successes, and a culture steeped in inclusivity—all of which surpass many of the standard benchmarks established by Great Place To Work.

John M. Holmes, AAR’s Chairman, President, and CEO, commented on the certification: "Earning Great Place To Work Certification is a reflection of our team members and the culture they help create every day. This recognition serves as a testament to the pride our employees take in what we accomplish together, the importance of their work, and the mutual respect they demonstrate towards each other on a daily basis."

One of the standout attributes noted in the survey was AAR’s commitment to safety in the workplace. For the second consecutive year, team members rated the statement, "AAR is a physically safe place to work," as one of the most crucial aspects of their employment. This focus on safety aligns directly with AAR's core company value, which emphasizes that Quality comes first, and Safety always.

The Great Place To Work Certification is recognized globally and is sought after by countless companies striving to create outstanding employee experiences. It originates from research that evaluates workplace culture and employee satisfaction, and it is the only certification awarded based solely on employees’ feedback about their workplace environment. Consequently, achieving this accolade requires organizations to demonstrate consistent, intentional efforts toward enhancing the overall employee experience.
