APS lands five-year contract with Lion Air

Aircraft Propeller Service (APS), the aircraft propeller Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) organisation, has been awarded five-year contract for comprehensive propeller maintenance support of Lion Air’s fleet of 80 ATR 72s, including exclusivity for propeller blade repairs and overhauls.  Lion Air currently has the world’s largest fleet of ATRs, which will grow to 100 planes once all current orders are delivered. APS will initially provide MRO services to Lion Air from its Lake Zurich, IL headquarters, with plans to launch a facility in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region in 2020 where Lion Air’s fleet will then be maintained.  According to APS
