Duncan Aviation said it has elevated its HTF7000 program to focus on minimizing aircraft downtime, with 4,500- and 4,800-hour borescope inspections typically completed in 25 to 30 days. The company reported more than 50% growth in Honeywell HTF7000 series engine events as it emphasizes faster turn times and proactive planning. Duncan attributed the increase in activity to operators choosing its approach to planning work before engines arrive.

“We don’t wait for our customer’s engine to arrive to start working,” said HTF program manager Shawn Schmitz. “By the time the aircraft lands, the technicians are scheduled, the tooling is staged, and the parts planning and strategies are already in work.”
