Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. today announced that its component maintenance facility in Lincoln, California, has earned approval from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) to repair components on China-registered Gulfstream aircraft.

Under the CAAC certificate, Gulfstream Lincoln can work on more than 150 parts associated with the Gulfstream G550, G450, G280, G200, GV and GIV aircraft models. Gulfstream's China fleet has grown from 15 aircraft in 2009 to approximately 100 in 2015.

“Whether it is component maintenance at Gulfstream Lincoln or airframe maintenance at our Gulfstream Long Beach Service Center, providing product support options on the West Coast of the U.S. is more convenient for our China-based operators,” said Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream product support. "We will continue to expand our capabilities list at Lincoln to support our customers' needs.”

Gulfstream Lincoln, a nearly 50,000-square-foot/4,645-square-meter facility, is staffed by more than 55 employees and holds numerous original equipment manufacturer authorizations. The facility is instrumental in supporting Gulfstream's global stocking strategy with a $34 million parts inventory that includes alternators, converters, avionics, wheels and brakes. Gulfstream Lincoln has more than 1,000 approved part numbers on its current capabilities list.

Gulfstream Lincoln, which is located near Lincoln Regional Airport, offers pickup and delivery service for wheels, brakes and other components at general aviation airports around California, including Van Nuys, Burbank, Camarillo, Stockton and San Jose.
