Duncan Aviation has celebrated the groundbreaking of its new Pratt & Whitney Canada designated overhaul facility (DOF) in Lincoln, Nebraska.
The new facility will focus on the overhaul and maintenance of PW300 and PW500 series engines.
“Duncan Aviation has provided maintenance and overall services for Pratt & Whitney Canada PW300 and PW500 engines for decades. This new facility plays a crucial role in strengthening our engine overhaul services, providing even greater support and efficiency to our customers,” said Irene Makris, vice president of Customer Service at Pratt & Whitney Canada.
Todd Duncan, chairman of Duncan Aviation, highlighted the long-standing relationship between the two companies said, “This groundbreaking symbolizes a trusted commitment between two great companies that dates back decades. It is the result of years of effort through strategic agreements and mutual trust and holds immense significance.”
With the completion of the new DOF set for 2026, departments such as airframe maintenance, paint, avionics, completions, and component services are anticipated to see increased demand from operators using Pratt & Whitney Canada engines who require comprehensive MRO services.
The new 36,000-square-foot facility will include 12 engine maintenance bays, a new parts inventory warehouse, and expanded backshops.
