28 July 2020: Gulfstream Aerospace opened a brand new 225,000-square-foot/20,903-square-meter Customer Support service centre at UK’s Farnborough Airport. This facility can accommodate up to 13 large-cabin aircraft, including the Gulfstream G650, G650ER and the new industry flagship Gulfstream G700. The facility offers maintenance, repair and overhaul services, as well as interior refurbishments and after-market modifications. The facility’s first aircraft is a Middle East-based Gulfstream G450 arriving for scheduled maintenance.
“Gulfstream Farnborough is already seeing great demand,” said Derek Zimmerman, president, Gulfstream Customer Support. “This opening marks the completion of another goal in our overarching strategy to enhance convenience and increase options for our customers. The new facilities we are building can better accommodate more of the increasingly popular large-cabin Gulfstream aircraft our customers are flying around the world.”
Farnborough facility has been designed with environmental benefits, including rainwater harvesting, radiant heating systems in the purpose-built hangar, intelligent lighting controls and heat recovery systems. The building is also expected to achieve a Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) rating.
To complement the Farnborough site, Gulfstream’s FAST Field & Airborne Support Teams continue to maintain a presence at London Luton Airport for arrivals, departures and aircraft-on-ground (AOG) service.
In addition to Farnborough, Gulfstream Customer Support has expanded throughout the US with new facilities in Savannah; Appleton, Wisconsin; Van Nuys, California; and forthcoming in Palm Beach, Florida. In February, the company announced an upcoming expansion in Fort Worth, Texas.
