AEROSPACE & DEFENSE IN ARKANSAS
The diverse sectors of aerospace in Arkansas include commercial,
civil and military aviation, defense and space. They encompass a
wide array of talent and competencies. The industrial base includes
researchers, engineers, technicians, mechanics, skilled machinists
and precision production jobs.
Jobs
Arkansas’ aerospace, aviation and defense industry employs nearly
10,000 Arkansans.
Economic Impact
Aerospace is Arkansas’s number one export, accounting for more
than $1.8 Billion. Commercial airports generate $2 billion to Arkansas’
economy each year, and general aviation alone creates an economic
impact on Arkansas of almost $500 million annually.
The organization began in 2006 as a Little Rock Municipal Airport
Commission task force and was organized into the alliance in 2012
by the Arkansas State Chamber of Commerce/Associated Industries
of Arkansas with input from the Arkansas Economic Development
Commission (AEDC).
Mission
The mission of the Arkansas Aerospace & Defense Alliance is to
promote the growth and sustainability of the state’s aerospace,
aviation and defense industries by:
• Creating business opportunities
• Inspiring global competition
• Facilitating the development of key relationships
• Providing education
• Encouraging public policies that are beneficial to the industry
Legislative Caucus
There are approximately 180 aviation and aerospace-related
companies in the state.
In 2013, the Arkansas General Assembly formed the legislature’s
first Aerospace and Aviation Caucus. The mission of the caucus is
to educate legislators and highlight the aerospace, aviation and
defense industries and their economic impact on Arkansas.
Airports
Join Today!
There are 91 publicly-owned/publicly-used general aviation and
community airports within the State of Arkansas, eight of which have
airline services.
The Alliance is a full-time advocate for the entire aerospace industry
and serves as an effective resource for your individual company or
organization. Whether its representing your needs at the Arkansas
Legislature or facilitating dynamic networking opportunities and
professional development, an Alliance membership is the most
valuable way to promote your business and become an influential
industry leader.
Companies
Education
Arkansas leads the South in aerospace education, offering a
wide variety of certification programs and degrees. Students can
participate in career training programs focused on aerospace
technology and manufacturing, become a professional pilot, obtain
4-year degrees in aviation and engineering and even earn their
Masters or Ph.D.
The Arkansas Aerospace Training Consortium is a collaborative effort
among the Arkansas Association of Two-Year Colleges (AATYC) and
nine community colleges to increase aviation and aerospace course
offerings.
ABOUT THE ALLIANCE
The Arkansas Aerospace & Defense Alliance is a group of public and
private aerospace companies, government agencies and educational
institutions dedicated to growing the aerospace, aviation and

ABOUT ARKANSAS
Location
Quality of Life
Halfway between Canada and Mexico, the Carolinas and California,
Arkansas is only a tank of gas away from one-third of the nation’s
population. The state’s comprehensive transportation system
can easily move bulk commodities and consumer goods. Many of
Arkansas’s port locations have railway connections that provide a
smooth transition for various modes of transportation and quick
delivery.
Arkansas’s transportation network and central U.S. location define
the state as a strategic distribution center. Midway between Mexico
City and Montreal, Arkansas offers a valuable distribution advantage.
Arkansas’s intermodal transportation network of highways, railways,
air routes, waterways and pipelines is ideally suited to meet the
needs of business. These facilities provide easy access to U.S.
markets and the world.
Economy
Arkansas is proud of the eight homegrown Fortune 500 companies
headquartered here: ArcBest Corporation, Dillard’s, J.B. Hunt,
Murphy Oil Corp., Murphy USA, Tyson Foods, Walmart and
Windstream. Many Arkansas companies and communities are
making headlines:
• CNBC’s “Top States for Business 2014” ranked Arkansas’s cost
of doing business as the second lowest in the nation.
• Cost for industrial electricity was 5th lowest in the country in
2014, according to the Institute for Energy Research, in its 2013
report, “Arkansas: An Energy and Economic Analysis.”
• CNBC ranked the Arkansas workforce in 2014 as 19th best in
America.
• In 2014, wages in Arkansas were, on the average, 53% lower
than the national average.
• Arkansas’s education system ranked fifth in the nation in
Education Week’s “Quality Counts” report for 2013.
• In 2013, Forbes named Fayetteville, Little Rock, and Fort Smith
among the top MSAs in the U.S. for Business and Careers.
• Arkansas-based Wal-Mart was included among Fortune’s Most
Admired Companies in 2013.
Higher Education
The state of Arkansas is home to 11 four-year public universities, 11
four-year private colleges and universities, and 22 two-year public
colleges.
Climate
The weather in Arkansas is mild and typically pleasant. No matter
what time of year you plan on visiting Arkansas, you’ll find The Natural
State offering beautiful scenic views and plenty of opportunities
for outdoor adventure. With four distinct, yet temperate, seasons,
Arkansas is the perfect year-round vacation destination. Spring
and fall are particularly mild with the most extreme temperatures
occurring in late summer when days are hot and humid and during
winter months when temperatures occasionally dip into the teens
or below.
Weather in Arkansas often changes dramatically due to surrounding
weather influences. When two or more weather systems merge,
clouds form, temperature changes and precipitation often follows.
Arkansas’s central location allows weather systems from all directions
to influence its climate.
Why Others Choose Arkansas for Relocation
From the Delta to the Ozark Mountains, Arkansas is an incredible
place to live. Some are enchanted by the stunning scenery, others
enjoy the four distinct seasons and still others are fond of the
convenience the state provides and the fact that Arkansas is one of
the most affordable states to live in. Whatever the reason, it’s clear
that a love of Arkansas runs deep in the hearts of those who call it
home.
Cost of Living in Arkansas
How Much Bang for the Buck in The Natural State?
CNBC’s “Top States for Business 2014” ranked Arkansas’s cost of
living as the second lowest in the nation.

EFFECTIVE APRIL 07, 2015 ARKANSAS SALES TAX IS NO LONGER APPLICABLE
TO PARTS OR SERVICES ON AIRCRAFT WEIGHING 12,500 LBS OR GREATER
Additionally Arkansas is now a true ‘Fly Away State’ regarding Aircraft Sales Transactions for Buyers and Sellers
who are not residents of Arkansas, nor intend to base the aircraft in Arkansas. Out of State Operators may close
an aircraft transaction in Arkansas without the imposition of Arkansas Gross Receipts Tax.
According to Act 1182, “The gross receipts or gross proceeds derived from the sale of an aircraft within the
state are exempt from the gross receipts tax levied under this chapter and the compensating use tax levied by
the Arkansas Compensating 13 Tax Act of 1949, § 26-53-101 et seq. if the aircraft is sold by a person that is the
resident of another state to a purchaser that: (1) Is a resident of another state; and (2) Will base the aircraft outside
of the State of Arkansas. (b) The fact that a purchaser takes possession of an aircraft in this state does not prevent
the application of the exemption provided in this section if the purchaser takes possession of the aircraft for the
sole purpose of: (1) Removing the aircraft from this state under its own power; or (2) Locating the aircraft at a
maintenance facility in this state for the time period necessary to complete maintenance or modifications to the
aircraft if the aircraft is removed from this state upon completion of the maintenance or modifications”.
