“APS is an exciting story when you think back to the company’s start decades ago as a small, general aviation-focused shop and how it has grown into the leading propeller MRO shop in the world, serving a global operator base and having a presence on three continents. APS has long-term agreements in place with most of them – seven of the 10 largest ATR operators are aligned with APS. As for APS’s facility in Brazil, which opened at the beginning of 2016, Colbert says that it was previously a Collins operation.
