Duncan pays tribute to Provo design team
It is coming up for one year since Provo lead designer Molly Foster joined Duncan Aviation. Since then, she has overseen a number of exciting design projects for the company, including a highly unusual G550 livery.

Duncan Aviation is proud of the work its design centre in Provo, Utah has been completing this year. Lead designer Molly Foster joined Duncan in December 2019 and has been working with customers in Provo to create design solutions that offer the ultimate in comfort, utility and artistry.

“In developing our new Provo design centre, we worked closely with the architects to create an extension of our other two facilities located in Nebraska and Michigan,” says Mary Lee, senior lead designer and team lead.

“Molly, our lead designer on site in Provo, has excellent attention to detail and expertise, and she quickly works to put our Provo customers at ease to make their experience in planning their completion project inviting and enjoyable.”

Foster brought three years of aviation experience with her to Duncan Aviation. One of the first customers that she worked with at the Provo design centre was the owner of a G550 who wanted to update their existing paint scheme.

“The existing scheme had a dated design featuring a palm tree that gave it a Miami Vice look,” Foster explains. “The new design now has a light-to-dark blue fade on the nose and engines, and the tail features a hand-painted sunset. I cannot give our paint team here in Provo enough credit for how perfectly that intricate design turned out.”

She is currently working on the details of a large-scale interior refurbishment for a Global Express customer that is due to input into the Provo facility in December. In addition to the new interior, the workscope includes full exterior paint, upgraded flight deck avionics and a 20-year inspection that will utilise all of the other capabilities that Provo now has to offer. This is testament that Duncan Aviation's third full-service facility is providing the same range and quality of services available that customers have come to expect in Lincoln, Nebraska, and Battle Creek, Michigan, for the last 64 years.
