Pratt & Whitney Canada has appointed Duncan Aviation’s operation in Lincoln, Nebraska, as a designated overhaul facility for maintenance, repair, and overhaul of PW300 and PW500 turbofan engines that go into service over the next two years.

P&WC v-p for customer service Irene Makris explained that the designation of Duncan reflects a desire to proactively ensure the availability of MRO capacity when and where customers need it.

“Duncan Aviation has extensive experience in the line maintenance and hot section inspection of both our PW300 and PW500 engines,” she added. “Stepping into the official MRO role for these two engine families is the logical extension of our long-standing relationship with their team.”

P&WC’s global service network consists of company-owned maintenance and MRO shops, designated maintenance facilities for line work and mobile repair team services, designated overhaul facilities that provide MRO services, and approved repair facilities that maintain auxiliary power units. The facilities number more than 50 and are located in 25 countries.
