Duncan Aviation Rolls Out "Enhancements by Duncan Aviation"New Program

March 1, 2006

LINCOLN, NE. - Duncan Aviation recently announced a new program that offers value-added solutions to the business jet aircraft sales marketplace by creatively packaging the unique products and services offered by Duncan Aviation.

Enhancements by Duncan Aviation bundles Duncan Aviation's unique, high-value solutions like Glass Box installations, Duncan Design creations and thorough airframe inspections on model-specific aircraft and subsequently "brands" those aircraft as Enhanced by Duncan Aviation. When describing a specific aircraft that meets the criteria of these "Enhancements," it will be distinguished by the letter e to the upper-right of the aircraft's model name. As an added bonus, aircraft warranties are extended to the purchaser on modifications, completions and new equipment installed.

Duncan Aviation's first example of this unique designation is a Hawker 800e that Duncan Aviation purchased and that is is currently undergoing the enhancement process for resale. In addition to being promoted using conventional methods, the Hawker will be distinguished from "used aircraft" by labeling it as a "Hawkere by Duncan Aviation." When it becomes available this summer, this Hawkere will feature a new Honeywell EPIC Cockpit Display System Retrofit featuring three modern flat-panel displays, a complete new interior, new paint and major airframe and landing gear inspections.

The concept of improving aircraft with Duncan Aviation's products and services is not new. In fact, it occurs every day. Aircraft owners, operators and purchasers turn to Duncan Aviation experts for assistance with modifying and refurbishing their aircraft in a high-quality manner. What's unique about this initiative is the proactive vision it presents the future aircraft buyer. By helping a prospective aircraft buyer become more knowledgeable regarding upgrade options available, they are in a better position to choose what's in their best interest. As an integrated solutions provider, Duncan Aviation is able to offer customers options about adding value to an aircraft, and ways to compare the different purchase options they are considering, both operationally and financially. This approach, with earlier customer involvement, allows Duncan Aviation to better coordinate project needs, taking into consideration the realities of production capacity and backlog scheduling.

"Enhancements by Duncan Aviation fully leverages the strengths of Duncan Aviation and the experience our customers have come to enjoy," says Andy Biller, Duncan Aviation Aircraft Sales and Acquisitions Representative. "It is a win / win / win solution for aircraft buyers, aircraft sellers and Duncan Aviation."
