AV8 MRO has acquired Duncan Aviation’s multimillion-dollar inventory of Hawker landing gear and parts. The deal substantially increases AV8 MRO’s parts inventory and brings the number of complete ship sets of landing gear for all series to 13. As part of the agreement, AV8 MRO will provide landing gear exchange and overhaul options to Duncan Aviation and its customers.
"It was becoming very difficult to procure critical Hawker landing gear parts at reasonable prices and therefore offer our Hawker customers options for landing gear overhaul and repair," Duncan Aviation vice president of business development, marketing and aircraft sales Steve Gade told AIN. "Our relationship with AV8 enables us to better and more economically serve our Hawker customers. Additionally, this frees up capacity in our landing gear overhaul and repair shop to meet the increasing demand represented by other send-in and in-house gear sets from other airframes."
AV8 MRO offers three Hawker landing gear solutions: the customer sends in the landing gear for overhaul and return; an overhaul exchange; or independent of an overhaul, AV8 MRO can repair and or provide the specific parts needed to repair the landing gear. AV8 MRO has the in-house capabilities to repair and overhaul all series of Hawker landing gear.
In addition to its in-house capabilities to repair and overhaul all series of Hawker landing gear, AV8 MRO has FAA repair specification approval to make replacement parts, and this approval covers nearly 400 parts for Hawker landing gear.
