Supporting its component repair and overhaul endeavours, Duncan Aviation has added five new technical representatives to meet a need for advanced technical support and training for accessories, avionics and instrument services.
Duncan Aviation component tech reps are experienced experts in their fields. They advise, teach and support customers, OEMs and internal company technicians.
In the last three years, Duncan Aviation has heavily invested in its Component Services division, adding new capabilities and inventory. The company has added exclusive support for many OEM avionics and accessories units. With these new authorisations, Duncan Aviation Components Services manages the repair and exchange capabilities, including quotes, AOG events, technical support, warranty claims and maintenance contracts.
