Aviation Concepts Technical Services (ACTSI) has added the Gulfstream GVII-G500 and G600 aircraft to its FAA Operations Specifications A003-1 capability. Based at Subic Bay International Airport in the Philippines, the company can now provide warranty work and other MRO services on a wider range of Gulfstream types under its agreement with Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation.

Gulfstream operators in the region are now able to access warranty services on the G280, G550, G650, G650ER and G500/G600 variants. This follows ongoing collaboration between ACTSI and multiple authorities including the FAA, CAAP, and the regulators of the Cayman Islands and Bermuda.

Director of quality Stephen Klohr says: “ACTSI continues to have great collaboration with the FAA, CAAP and Cayman and Bermuda authorities to provide the safest and highest quality maintenance and inspections on the Gulfstream product line.”

The expansion also reflects ACTSI’s existing component capabilities which include wheel and tyre servicing, battery repairs and sheet metal work.

“As a Gulfstream authorised warranty repair facility, this reinforces our commitment to delivering top-tier maintenance services to Gulfstream customers operating in and around the Asia Pacific Region,” adds president Fernando L. Gaspar.
