Duncan Aviation’s Houston satellite avionics facility recently received approval from Mexico’s civil aviation authority, the Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil (DGAC), as an authorized service center. The authorization allows the facility to conduct avionics repair and installation on aircraft registered in Mexico.

Located at Wilson Air Center at Hobby Airport in Houston, the Duncan satellite facility employs 15 and is dedicated exclusively to avionics repair and installation. The facility  has technicians on call 24 hours a day. "This location is particularly useful to our Mexico-registered aircraft customers because of its proximity to Mexico,” Mark Cote, Duncan’s vice president of satellites, parts and rotable sales, avionics and accessories, told AIN. “Our satellite network has proven to be very effective in reaching our customers across the U.S.”

Duncan Aviation’s locations in Lincoln, Nebraska; Battle Creek, Michigan; Provo, Utah; and now Houston hold certificates for 10 additional civil aviation authorities around the world.
