Duncan Aviation is pleased to announce the appointment of Bill Otte as the Turbine Engine Service Sales Representative for its Pratt & Whitney Engine Program. In this role, Otte will lead the company's Pratt & Whitney turbine engine sales and service efforts, focusing on enhancing customer experiences and fostering growth.

With 40 years of aviation experience as an A&P technician, Director of Maintenance, and most recently as Duncan Aviation's Regional Manager for the East Central United States, Otte has a deep understanding of customer needs. His dedication to building relationships and delivering value to clients has driven Duncan Aviation's success in the region for the past 14 years.

Duncan Aviation has embarked on a significant expansion of its turbine engine overhaul facility in Lincoln, Nebraska. This expansion follows an announcement designating the MRO as a Pratt & Whitney DOF or Designated Overhaul Facility. The DOF designation enables Duncan Aviation to conduct hot sections and overhauls on a range of P&WC turbofan engines, including the 530A, 535A, 535B, 535E, 545A, 545B, 545C, 305A, 305B, 306A, 306C, 307A, 307D, 308A, and 308C models. Hot section inspection services will be operational by the end of 2024, with full overhaul capabilities coming online in early 2026.

Otte will travel across all 50 states, engaging with customers to showcase Duncan Aviation's Pratt & Whitney capabilities and solidify its position as a leader in turbine engine services. "In the next 3-5 years, Duncan Aviation's Pratt & Whitney program will take off," Otte commented. "We'll be there, and we'll be ready."

"Bill is prepared to hit the ground running thanks to his existing customer relationships, deep understanding of Duncan Aviation's operations, and alignment with our company culture," said Troy Nail, Airframe Service Sales Manager in Lincoln. "I am confident that Bill, along with our team, will establish Duncan Aviation as the industry leader for Pratt & Whitney engine models in the near future."

Beyond his professional achievements, Otte is known for his dedication to family and community. He is married to his high school sweetheart, Lynda, enjoys leisure travel, spending time with his kids and grandkids, Lincoln (8) and Rachel (3), and participating in church mission trips for disaster relief.
