Under this agreement, Collins Aerospace technicians will offer knowledge transfer and training for nacelle inspection, composite, and mechanical repairs to Asia Digital Engineering engineers.
Collins Aerospace, a business under Raytheon Technologies, is enhancing its long-term Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) Services agreement by signing a letter of intent with Asia Digital Engineering (ADE) to expand nacelle support in Malaysia. Under this agreement, Collins Aerospace technicians will offer knowledge transfer and training for nacelle inspection, composite, and mechanical repairs to ADE engineers. This collaboration aims to build upon existing technical skills and increase technical competence within ADE. In return, Collins Aerospace will support the full lifecycle of AirAsia’s CFM56-5B fleet until the end of its lease.
Dana Stephenson, Vice President of Aftermarket for Aerostructures, Collins Aerospace, said, “This agreement strengthens the MRO and nacelle repair capabilities available for the CFM56 fleet. The collaboration between Collins, ADE, and AirAsia will enable excellent MRO service and timely deliveries to our customers in the Asia Pacific region.”
This partnership is expected to improve efficiencies and turnaround times for aircraft maintenance services. Additionally, it contributes to the industry’s environmental sustainability goals by extending the life of aircraft and ensuring high dispatch reliability.
Mahesh Kumar, CEO at Asia Digital Engineering said, “We are glad to collaborate with Collins Aerospace. Collins and ADE have established an alliance and worked closely in the past, which will be beneficial for our engineers and technicians to learn from the best and deliver the goals of ADE. The goal is to provide the best value with high efficiency across an extensive coverage of locations.”

Collins Aerospace is known for manufacturing top-of-the-line nacelles, which are lightweight and durable structures that surround an aircraft engine. Nacelles play a critical role in protecting the engine, reducing sound, controlling airflow, and providing thrust-reversing capabilities, which help slow an aircraft during landing.
