NIAR WERX Announces MRO Program Expansion with Erickson Precision Ventures

Our Bureau - : May 30, 2022 - : 5:59 am

The WERX program at Wichita State University’s National Institute for Aviation Research (NIAR) and Erickson Precision Ventures have reached an agreement to work cooperatively on modification, maintenance and engineering for various Boeing and Airbus aircraft.

NIAR will soon complete conversions and maintenance – which began last year – for Erickson’s subsidiary company, Erickson Aero Tanker.

In the third quarter of 2022, NIAR WERX will begin performance of passenger-to-freighter (P2F) conversions for Erickson, adding two new aircraft to its conversion portfolio with the expectation of performing 12-24 per year for Precision Aircraft Solutions (Precision) at NIAR WERX.

“The unprecedented demand for the Airbus and Boeing products is a testament to the investment and teamwork needed to create industry leading products for our community and our customers, said Precision President Gary Warner. “Precision works with facilities around the globe to satisfy this demand, and NIAR WERX represents a truly unique addition to the team.”

Based on the new partnership and the recently announced expansion of Kansas Modification Center’s 777-300ERCF P2F conversion program, NIAR WERX anticipates the creation of nearly 1,500 jobs over the next five years.
