Duncan Aviation is API’s longest-standing and most prolific, installation partner.
Aviation Partners has signed an agreement with Duncan Aviation to extend its blended winglets authorization designating Duncan’s Utah MRO location as an authorized installer for API blended winglets. In 2008, Duncan Aviation partnered with API in 2008 to install the API blended winglets on a Falcon 2000EX for STC (Supplemental Type Certificate) certification flight test. API subsequently announced Duncan Aviation’s Battle Creek, Mich., and Lincoln, Neb., MROs as the first authorized installers for Falcon blended winglets in 2009.
Chad Doehring, Duncan Aviation’s PVU Executive Vice President/Chief Operating Officer said, “Duncan Aviation and Aviation Partners have been industry partners for years. Having our Provo facility API-authorized gives our western US customers a more convenient option for winglet installations. It’s been a great working relationship. We appreciate API’s continued support and confidence in the quality of our installations. It is confidence shared by our mutual customers.”
Duncan Aviation has 10 airframe maintenance teams between all three MRO locations with more than 10 years of experience completing this in-demand modification on all series of the Falcon 50, 900, and 2000 aircraft.
Gary Dunn, API President said, “Our relationship with Duncan Aviation goes back to the mid-1990s when we completed several Gulfstream II winglet installations. Dozens of Hawker 800 series winglet retrofits followed. With more than 100 Falcon winglets now complete, Duncan Aviation is our longest-standing, and our most prolific, installation partner. We look forward to the increased installation capacity and customer choice that adding Provo to the list will bring.”
