As part of the Embraer Authorized Service Center (EASC) network, Duncan Aviation's facilities in Battle Creek, Michigan; Lincoln, Nebraska; and Provo, Utah, are all approved for line and base maintenance on Embraer aircraft. The new dedicated team in Battle Creek underscores Duncan Aviation's ongoing commitment to industry growth, quality, and innovation.

Duncan Aviation is proud to announce a new advantage for Embraer operators: a dedicated 14-member Airframe team at the company's Battle Creek, Michigan, facility that focuses exclusively on Embraer aircraft.

For the past 18 months, this specialized team—led by Team Leader Jacob Mills—has poured its expertise into scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, structural repairs, and Service Bulletins for the entire Embraer lineup: Phenom 100 and 300, Legacy 450/500/600/650, and Praetor 500 and 600. Duncan Aviation's Lincoln and Provo facilities also have dedicated Embraer teams.

"This dedicated approach allows us to deliver more responsive, consistent, and tailored service to our Embraer customers," said Mills. "We're building strong, seamless processes that anticipate customer needs and deepen our relationships with them. It's all about providing strategic, proactive support."
