American Airlines has completed all projects related to its initial Vision 2025 funding of $21,185,000.00 and is coordinating for the remainder of funding which is scheduled for availability after July 2010.
Background:
Passage of Vision 2025 in 2003 by 60 percent of the vote, highlights the strong connection between the community and American Airlines. Vision funds allow American to purchase tooling, test equipment and inventory associated with both new and existing work at the Tulsa Maintenance and Engineering Base. Included in this plan are 737, 757, 777 Avionics Components, 737/MD80 aircraft docking and work platforms and 737 Engine and Landing Gear.
Vision 2025 has paved the way for the Base to open two new 737 maintenance lines; replacing short-term work with long-term stable work with a future. The Tulsa M & E Base employes over 8,000 people which directly impact another 14,000 jobs in the community. American purchases annually over $72 million in materials and supplies from local companies.
The AA M&E Base strives “To be the leader in Aviation Maintenance that no one else can beat”. The Tulsa community and American have once again proven that we are a winning team that no one can beat.
