GULFSTREAM ADDS CUSTOMER SUPPORT RESOURCES IN EUROPE AND ASIA

Additions Include Hangar Space At Paris-Le Bourget Airport And Key Personnel In Asia And Europe

SAVANNAH, Georgia, February 7, 2019 — Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. today announced it has made significant enhancements to its already extensive Customer Support resources in Europe and Asia, including the addition of hangar space for maintenance at Europe’s busiest business-aviation airport, Paris-Le Bourget.

At Le Bourget, Gulfstream has established access to and usage of an on-site hangar (H2). This customer resource supplements the Field and Airborne Support Teams (FAST) unit Gulfstream made available to operators at Le Bourget in 2017.

 

“Our ability to work in a hangar at Le Bourget will protect a customer’s aircraft from the elements and create an efficient working environment with room for tooling and equipment,” said Derek Zimmerman, president, Gulfstream Customer Support. “This added resource will help reduce downtime and facilitate a quicker return to service for Gulfstream aircraft in Paris.”

Gulfstream’s presence at Le Bourget includes up to three FAST technicians, who have the use of 16,500 square feet/1,533 square meters of hangar space. The European Aviation Safety Agency-trained technicians, who specialize in assisting operators in aircraft-on-ground situations, work under and are managed by Gulfstream’s company-owned service center at London Luton Airport.

According to PrivateFly, Le Bourget was Europe’s busiest airport for business aviation in 2018, with approximately 54,000 aircraft movements.
