Duncan Aviation is partnering with Extant Aerospace to provide “critical support” for legacy aircraft components. The move was propelled by Extant's acquisition of an older JET/L3 product line that includes critical components for emergency power supplies (EPS), emergency lighting, stick pushers, static inverters, static converters, and LRUs (line-replaceable units) on aircraft made by Embraer, Gulfstream, Beechcraft, and Sikorsky, among others.

“We sought a partnership with Duncan Aviation to support the established customer base for the JET/L3 stick pusher and emergency power supply products we acquired in 2022,” said Extant Aerospace business unit manager Madison Blake. “This came with the need to serve dozens of new customers across hundreds of unique part numbers. Duncan Aviation has provided valuable insight into customer needs and solutions to ensure the best service to the end users. The partnership has been successful in serving the market and providing more support to meet customer needs all over the world.”

“These units are manufactured on demand, with lead times ranging from six to 12 months,” said Chris Gress, a business development manager at Duncan Aviation. “We are proactively conducting research and forecasting demand to maintain an inventory level that will reduce the waiting time for operators.”
