AAR Earns 2026 Military Friendly® Employer and Military FriendlySpouse® Employer Designations

AAR Corp. (NYSE: AIR), a provider of aviation services to commercial and government operators, MROs and OEMs, announces that it has earned the 2026 Military Friendly® Gold Employer designation and Military FriendlySpouse® Employer designation.

“AAR is honored to be known as a Military Friendly® Gold Employer and Military FriendlySpouse® Employer,” says John M. Holmes, AAR’s chairman, president and CEO. “Approximately 20% of AAR’s U.S.-based team members are veterans. We honor their service and value the contributions they bring to our Company culture and our government customers.”

Institutions earning the Military Friendly® designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. More than 1,200 companies participated in the Military Friendly® survey. Methodology, criteria and weightings were determined by VIQTORY with input from the Military Friendly® Advisory Council of independent leaders in the military recruitment community. Final ratings were determined by combining an organization’s survey score with an assessment of the organization’s ability to meet thresholds for recruitment, new hire retention, employee turnover, and promotion and advancement of veterans and military employees.

“Organizations earning the Military Friendly® Employer designation have wholeheartedly invested in comprehensive and impactful initiatives that bring about positive, life-changing results for our valued service members, dedicated military spouses, and esteemed veterans within their ranks. We salute these exemplary employers who raise the bar and understand that hiring military personnel is not merely an act of goodwill but a testament to a standard that truly embodies sound business wisdom. Their commitment to integrating military personnel into their workforce not only reflects their compassion but also underscores their business acumen,” says Kayla Lopez, senior director of Partnerships at Military Friendly®.

AAR will be showcased among the 2026 Military Friendly® Employers in the Winter issue of G.I. Jobs® magazine and on MilitaryFriendly.com, where a full list of 2026 Military Friendly® Employers is available.
