Gulfstream inaugurates service offer in Arizona
Gulfstream has opened a hangar facility at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway airport in advance of a new service centre opening in 2023. The facility will offer routine inspections and maintenance for all Gulfstream in-service aircraft.
The large hangar can hold multiple large-cabin aircraft and has customer office space, a tool room and space for parts inventory.

Gulfstream Aerospace has opened an aircraft service centre at the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway airport in Arizona. The new facility, which is located just across the airport from where construction is set to begin on Gulfstream's new 225,000 sq ft sustainable service centre, features a large hangar that can hold multiple large-cabin aircraft, customer office space, a tool room and space for parts inventory.

“We received a tremendous amount of interest from our customers when we announced our new Mesa service centre this past November,” says Gulfstream Customer Support president Derek Zimmerman. “Anticipating that interest, we were already working with Phoenix-Mesa Gateway airport officials to begin providing MRO options as soon as possible. The Mesa service centre is the latest strategic investment we have made to expand and modernise our facilities in support of the growing Gulfstream fleet around the world. Our goal is to provide our customers with the best service when and where they need it.”

The facility will offer a variety of routine inspections and maintenance for all Gulfstream in-service aircraft. It will also offer aircraft on ground (AOG)/drop in support to address any immediate needs customers may have.

Through workforce development partnerships with Arizona State University and Chandler-Gilbert Community College, located adjacent to the airport, Gulfstream will help prepare tomorrow's workers for high-paying jobs in the fast-growing aerospace sector. Gulfstream already has more than 60 employees working at the Mesa facility and plans to ultimately grow to around 200 employees once the new larger facility opens next year.

The Arizona service centre follows recent expansions in Savannah, Georgia; Van Nuys, California; Fort Worth, Texas; Palm Beach, Florida; Appleton, Wisconsin; and Farnborough, UK. The company's in-service fleet totals nearly 3,000 aircraft worldwide.
