Duncan Aviation newly constructed hangars at its Lincoln (Nebraska) Airport (KLNK) and Battle Creek (Michigan) Executive Airport (KBTL) locations have received their first customer aircraft. On February 12, a Bombardier Global 5000 arrived at the new KLNK hangar, and a Challenger 300 was brought to the KBTL one a few days later.
The aircraft MRO provider broke ground in 2022 on the hangars, which were built in collaboration with Tectonic Management Group. Jeff Lake, president and CEO of Duncan Aviation, said the construction of the hangars was part of the company’s plan to continue growth and stay competitive. “We did not build these hangars to gain market share, but to maintain the market share we have in a growing industry,” he said.
Lake added that while the additional hangars will initially give Duncan Aviation some flexibility, they will fill up fast. Hangar availability is a growing issue within the industry, he noted.
Duncan Aviation also has an MRO facility in Provo, Utah.
