Duncan Aviation Welcomes Ryan Blake to its Provo Airframe Sales Team

Duncan Aviation is pleased to welcome Ryan Blake to its Provo, Utah, facility as the new Gulfstream Airframe Sales and Services Representative. The new facility in Provo is ramping up to provide access to Duncan Aviation’s full range of services to West Coast customers and beyond. Currently, one of the new 43,000- square-foot hangars is online and open for business, with the state-of-the-art paint hangar slated to be up and running in the spring of 2019.

“Our Gulfstream customers now have an additional resource at the new Provo facility,” says Manager of Airframe and Engine Sales, Ryan Huss. “With Ryan Blake’s years as a pilot and his considerable experience in sales, we’re happy to welcome him to the Duncan Aviation family.”

Blake has his private and commercial pilot’s licenses, and he served as a flight instructor for many years in the Salt Lake City area. Prior to joining Duncan Aviation in November 2018, Blake sold medical devices to hospitals and doctors, covering roughly the same territory in the Western United States.

“My goal is to serve as a great resource for our customers and my fellow team members,” says Blake. “I plan to provide value for our customers and assure them that they will experience the well-known Duncan Aviation quality and level of service when they bring their aircraft to Duncan Aviation’s Provo facility.”
