Duncan Aviation, a leading aircraft service provider, has expanded its dedicated shop space for Honeywell HTF7000 engine maintenance services and named Shawn Schmitz as the new HTF7000 Program Manager. The company has quadrupled its shop space from 4,000 to 20,000 square feet in Lincoln, Nebraska, to meet the growing demand for the program. The new facility now accommodates all engine services and backshop capabilities, including a dedicated on-site nondestructive testing (NDT) lab, a flow and balance room, a large engine cleanroom, and a state-of-the-art paint booth.
Scott Stoki, Duncan Aviation’s Manager of Engine Overhaul Services, stated that the company has been successfully performing all aspects of the HTF7000 engine maintenance process since receiving the minor authorization in 2015. He added that the new facility will allow them to make the best use of their time and space by supporting the entire process in one location without having to move certain critical parts through other areas of the company.
