Duncan Aviation
Corporate Partner, Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul Company
Duncan Aviation has been a strong supporter of the WMU College of Aviation. As the largest family owned maintenance, repair and overhaul company in the world, the organization operates on a foundation of philanthropy and giving: establishing an aviation maintenance internship program in 2008, and creating the “Duncan Aviation Inc. Aviation Maintenance Scholarship” in December 2014. These opportunities are exclusive to the aviation maintenance technology students at WMU. Moreover, Duncan routinely supports WMU College of Aviation operations. Over the past several years, the WMU College of Aviation has received help from Duncan supporting operations from visiting airlines, movement of the College’s 727, borrowing equipment when needed, and student engagement. To supplement the WMU aviation maintenance fleet, Duncan donated a Beechcraft King Air, becoming a staple in the maintenance capstone course. Understanding the need for increased interest in aviation maintenance technicians, Duncan Aviation partners with the WMU Aviation Summer Camp offering an immersive tour and program. While the company receives no compensation for their efforts, they participate willingly, often exceeding the necessary level of commitment.
