Duncan Aviation Awarded Factory Authorization from Ontic
Duncan Aviation announces it was granted a licensing agreement with Ontic September of 2024 to service, support, exchange and sell certain part numbers of its thrust reverser actuation system (TRAS) product line.
Ontic acquired this product line from Honeywell in 2023 for production and repair. To ensure the legacy product lines remain accessible and operational, Ontic partnered with Duncan Aviation’s Component Accessories to support the TRAS part numbers on the Honeywell CF6 and CF34 engines installed on over 3,000 aircraft.
Adam J. Payne, senior sales manager-Staverton, says Ontic understands how important channel partners are to the success and stability of product lines as they grow and acquire new OEM licenses. “Duncan Aviation is a specialist in the business-jet MRO market," he says, "an area where Ontic is looking to grow. They will help offer repair options and solutions for Ontic’s TRAS product lines in North America, extending capabilities and coverage to their customer base from their Lincoln, NE, USA, facility.”
“Ontic has experience extending the life of valuable legacy aircraft products, and we are excited and privileged to be selected as a factory-authorized service center for these products,” says Tim Fidler, Duncan Aviation Components' business development manager. “Duncan Aviation has years of experience repairing these components. We look forward to incorporating our industry-leading customer service when supporting customers' MRO needs alongside Ontic.”
