Increased aircraft utilization is driving the propeller MRO market. The companies listed below are among authorized propeller service providers.
McCauley Propeller Systems sees continuing growth in the propeller repair market, thanks to increased aircraft utilization and propeller sales growth. Through a global network of 50 authorized service centers, the OEM provides maintenance support to its own products as well as those from other propeller manufacturers. Most of its authorized service centers specialize in propellers for fixed-wing turbine and piston-powered aircraft.
Textron Aviation, the parent company of McCauley Propeller Systems, offers its ProPropeller maintenance service plan with the purchase of any new Textron Aviation aircraft. Being its own largest supplier of required components and assemblies has helped McCauley weather the current supply chain complexities and associated challenges due to long-term external supplier relationships.
