About Duncan Aviation
Duncan Aviation is the primary FBO at Battle Creek Executive Airport at Kellogg Field, the third-busiest airport in Michigan. The facility at 5605 Portage Road houses some of the most experienced aircraft technicians in the region within 545,000 square feet of hangar space dedicated to major and minor airframe inspections, engine maintenance, avionics retrofits, full paint and interior work, and aircraft sales. For charter passengers, the connection to this maintenance operation means a technically sophisticated line service team that understands aircraft systems from the ground up. The terminal lobby features easy access to private offices, conference rooms, a pilot's lounge, and a weather planning area. The FBO is IS-BAH Stage 3 accredited, NATA Safety 1st Certified, and meets NATA's Sustainability Standard, all markers of standardized, safe ground handling. Quick-turn service, de-icing, courtesy cars, on-site rental cars, and wireless connectivity are available. Heated hangars protect aircraft during Michigan's cold winters. Battle Creek is located in southwest Michigan, historically known as the Cereal Capital of the World for its Kellogg Company headquarters. The city also hosts the annual Battle Creek Field of Flight Air Show and Balloon Festival. The airport sits roughly equidistant from Kalamazoo and Lansing, making it a practical destination for passengers with business across the region. Duncan Aviation has been a fixture in business aviation since 1956, and that heritage shows in the confidence and professionalism of the Battle Creek team.
