Helibras, the wholly owned Brazilian subsidiary of Airbus Helicopters, has awarded a three-year contract to Aircraft Propeller Service (APS) to service the servo actuators of Helibras turbine helicopters. One of the world’s leading propeller MRO organizations, APS is headquartered in Lake Zurich, Illinois, but will carry out the Helibras work at its facility in Atibaia.
From its Itajubá location, Helibras is Brazil’s only helicopter manufacturer and has a domestic market share of nearly 50 percent. APS has a growing relationship with Airbus in the aftermarket sector, and a growing business in the servo actuator sector. The company’s president and CEO, Dan Colbert, commented, “We are fully committed to bringing the APS brand of service quality to the helicopter market, and this latest contract award from Helibras will enable us to further demonstrate the value proposition our organization delivers with each and every repair.”
