BUILDING MOMENTUM IN MACON WITH THE WORLD'S LARGEST MRO NETWORK
MHIRJ, the world’s largest regional MRO network and aerospace technology leader, is landing in Macon, Georgia. With facilities in West Virginia, Arizona, and a new service center in Georgia, MHIRJ continues to solidify its commitment to providing enhanced service for its customers.

WHY MACON? Located at the Middle Georgia Regional Airport, the new facility will allow MHIRJ to offer two additional lines of maintenance, with the potential to grow that number to four, which would bring the total to 40 lines of maintenance within the MHIRJ network. “We have experienced phenomenal growth in our business and are in the middle of a strategic expansion plan of our MRO infrastructure in the United States,” said Ismail Mokabel, Senior Vice President and Head of Aftermarket at MHIRJ. “The new Macon facility is MHIRJ’s first investment in the state of Georgia and will allow us to expand our business and bring our operations closer to some of our key customers.”
PROXIMITY TO THE WORLD’S BUSIEST AIRPORT The new MHIRJ facility will be a little over an hour’s drive, or 38-minute flight, from Hartsfield- Jackson Atlanta Airport, the busiest airport in the world. Ranked second in the U.S. as a connecting hub, Hartsfield-Jackson is a key connection for both regional airline operators and major international airlines. This sprawling airport sees more than 100 million passengers a year and nearly 300,000 every day. With its recent 20-year improvement program, the airport is poised to modernize its domestic terminal, expand its cargo operations, and solidify its position as a beacon of economic strength and customer service.
HIRING UP TO 200 EMPLOYEES More than 800 aerospace companies currently call Georgia home. Macon County alone is home to some 80 aerospace leaders including GE Aviation, Aerojet Rocketydyne, BAE Systems and Lockheed Martin. The MHIRJ Macon expansion is expected to open for business in the second quarter of this year. The expansion will add approximately 200 jobs in the local community, for which MHIRJ will kickstart the hiring efforts immediately. The key priority now is hiring talented technicians and support staff to join the MHIRJ team.
AN INVESTMENT WITH DIVIDENDS For MHIRJ, the new facility is an investment that pays back in customer service excellence, enhanced capabilities, and regional growth. For the local community, the Macon Service Center will add to the region’s prestige as an aerospace leader, provide good paying jobs for local workers, and boost regional economic development. Simply put, coming to Macon is a move that will continue to build in momentum and opportunities for all.
