Aircraft Propeller Service (APS) has completed its first overhaul of Collins Aerospace 568F propeller blades at its new MRO facility in Malaysia. It marks the first time this propeller type has been serviced within the region.
Until now, all Collins 568F propellers had to be shipped to North America or Europe for overhaul. With APS’s certified, state-of-the-art Malaysian facility, operators can now handle repairs locally—cutting costs and turnaround times.
Fergus Lopez, Managing Director of APS Asia Pacific, said: “This milestone is a major leap for operators across Asia-Pacific. By bringing Collins Aerospace 568F repair capabilities to Asia, we’re offering airlines faster service and improved efficiency. Our mission is to deliver world-class support, closer to our customers.”
Located near Kuala Lumpur, the facility is ideally placed to serve the region’s growing turboprop fleet. APS remains the only MRO in Asia and the Americas licensed by Collins Aerospace to carry out proprietary repairs on the 568F propeller system—giving operators direct access to OEM-approved processes and unmatched regional support.
