Airline Adds Nearly 500 Maintenance Jobs Nationwide

American Airlines has opened nearly 500 new aviation maintenance jobs and additional lines of heavy maintenance work at the carrier’s maintenance bases in Charlotte, North Carolina; Pittsburgh; and Tulsa, Oklahoma. The added headcount will allow the airline to perform additional heavy maintenance check work at these locations.

“It’s an opportunity to grow our maintenance capacity and capabilities in the near-term and preserve them over the long run by continuing to build our pipeline of future maintenance team members — which is important work American has been doing for some time,” said Greg Emerson, American’s Vice President of Base Maintenance and Facilities.

The hiring announcement is in addition to the more than 300 jobs recently added to American’s Tech Ops — Tulsa maintenance base thanks to a $22 million grant awarded by the State of Oklahoma’s Business Expansion Incentive Program in 2023. The grant is helping American further grow and improve its commercial aircraft maintenance base, including American’s engine repair and overhaul facility.

These maintenance positions are now available on the airline’s website today. By location:

Charlotte: 133 total openings, including 122 AMTs

Pittsburgh: 44 total openings, including 40 AMTs

Tulsa: 321 total openings, including 227 AMTs
