KUALA LUMPUR, June 11 — Aircraft Propeller Service (APS), a global leader in aircraft propeller maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), has received certification from the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) for its Asia-Pacific facility in Shah Alam, Selangor.
In a statement today, APS said its Selangor-based facility, set to open later this month, will serve as a regional base and centre for specialised propeller MRO services to support operators across Asia Pacific.
“The CAAM certification is a key milestone in preparing the Malaysian facility to serve as APS’ regional centre of excellence for propeller MRO services, and it confirms that APS meets the aviation regulatory standards required to carry out maintenance work in Malaysia,” it said.
APS chief executive officer Daniel Colbert said the CAAM certification is a major step forward for APS in the Asia-Pacific region.
“It allows us to bring our maintenance capabilities closer to customers in Southeast Asia and build long-term support capacity in the region,” he said.
Meanwhile, APS Asia-Pacific managing director Fergus Lopez said the certification reflects the dedication of the Malaysia-based team and the strength of its internal systems.
“We are now in a strong position to begin supporting operators across the region with high-quality MRO services,” he said.
APS highlighted that the Asia-Pacific region currently accounts for 37 per cent of the global ATR fleet and is projected to require nearly 1,000 additional turboprop aircraft over the next two decades.
“The new facility is positioned to meet this growing demand and help establish Malaysia as a key aviation MRO centre in the region,” it added.
