Gulfstream Aerospace has robust expansion plans at its St. Louis Downtown Airport facility. The expansion will increase the production of custom cabinetry and exterior paint capacity for Gulfstream’s in-demand large-cabin aircraft. To support this expansion, Gulfstream St. Louis will grow its workforce in the areas of cabinet makers and finishers, upholsterers, aircraft paint technicians, manufacturing engineers, operations engineers, certification inspectors, and additional support functions.

Mark Burns, president of Gulfstream said, “We are seeing an extraordinary amount of activity across our sites to support Gulfstream’s current and future fleet, including customers new to business aviation and long-time customers looking to redesign their existing aircraft. As we strategically expand our service network, we are also increasing capacity for components of new aircraft at sites like St. Louis that have already been producing world-class interior furnishings for Gulfstream Customer Support.”
