Duncan Aviation continues to expand its pre-purchase evaluation business with its three full-service maintenance, repair and overhaul facilities each conducting such evaluations on Bombardier Globals. “We have extensive experience on Global aircraft at all three of our maintenance facilities, and more than 200 experts enterprise-wide who support the Global airframe,” said Mike Minchow, vice president of service sales for Duncan Aviation. “We’re excited that we have three Global pre-purchase evaluations, one at each facility, in process at the same time.”

The company’s facilities in Battle Creek, Michigan; Lincoln, Nebraska; and Provo, Utah have conducted more than 100 pre-purchase evaluations for aircraft transactions over the last two years. Duncan has added capabilities over time to provide “one-stop” capabilities for Globals, including paint, interior refurbishment, avionics service and entertainment upgrades.

Duncan’s facilities also have worked to increase their authorizations, with the latest coming from the Aruba Department of Civil Aviation for the Lincoln shop as an approved aircraft maintenance organization. Additionally, the Lincoln facility holds approval certifications from Argentina, Bermuda, Brazil, the Cayman Islands, China, EASA, India, Mexico, South Africa and Venezuela.
