A Garden City business that repairs components of military and commercial airplanes will lay off 83 employees and move much of its operation to Kansas and Texas, according to state records obtained by Newsday.
AAR Aircraft Component Services will terminate more than 70% of its employees between this month and April. The remaining 35 employees will move to a new office somewhere on Long Island, states a report from the state Department of Labor.
The job cuts are taking place eight months after company executives sought tax breaks and other assistance from Suffolk County and New York State to move from a plant on Zeckendorf Boulevard in Garden City to a smaller building in Melville.
