In December 2024, Duncan Aviation will begin construction of a new $25 million paint facility at its Lincoln, Nebraska, maintenance, repair & overhaul (MRO) location.
The build will include a new 32,500-square-foot, dual-bay paint hangar with an adjacent 9,000-square-foot storage and support area. The building will connect directly to Duncan Aviation’s existing paint facility, which was built in 2012, and will include expansion of the ramp area on the building’s west side, according to company officials.
Footings for the building will be poured and steel will begin arriving on-site in December. Construction is expected to be complete by January 2026.
“The driving factor for the hangar build is flexibility, not capacity,” says Doug Bohac, Duncan Aviation Enterprise Paint Manager.
The Duncan Aviation facility in Lincoln paints roughly 105 aircraft each year and paints 250 aircraft company-wide, which includes those painted at its Battle Creek, Michigan, and Provo, Utah, MROs.
Bohac says the new facility will allow more flexibility to support unscheduled and drop-in work like paint touch-up, registration number changes, and other paint needs with short lead times.
