Overview

Who We Are The Duncan Aviation Family Trust was created in 2004 as a way for the Duncan family to give back to the communities that have helped Duncan Aviation become the largest family-owned business aircraft service facility in the world. Duncan Aviation currently employs more than 3,000 aviation experts at its full-service MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul) service centers in Lincoln, Nebraska; Battle Creek, Michigan; and Provo, Utah; as well as dozens of Satellite and rapid-response locations across the United States. Mission & Values The mission of the Duncan Aviation Family Trust is to enhance the quality of public school education (Pre-K thru 12), meet the basic needs of people in our communities, and increase awareness and interest in the aviation industry in Lincoln, Nebraska, Battle Creek, Michigan, and Provo, Utah. The Duncan Aviation Family Trust is based on many of the same values that Donald Duncan instilled in Duncan Aviation when it was established in 1956. Chairman Todd Duncan carries on those values today, which include: honesty, integrity, loyalty, and trust, as well as a commitment to focusing on solutions rather than problems and leading through action. Mike Cox Internship Scholarship This scholarship was created in honor of the late Mike Cox, former Vice President at Duncan Aviation, whose leadership and commitment to mentoring left a lasting impact on our team.
