Gulfstream today announced the official opening of its new Texas repair and overhaul centre, located in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. This significant milestone supports Gulfstream's long-term strategy to increase in-house component support and enhance parts availability to minimise customer downtime.

The 100,000 square-foot/9,290 square-metre facility currently supports a multitude of services including repair and overhaul on wheels, brakes, batteries and hydraulics, along with structural and composite repairs and paint. The centre, which Gulfstream will ultimately expand to support avionics, landing gear and other components, represents an investment of more than $21 million and houses over $5 million in dedicated spare parts and inventory for repairs.

“By expanding our in-house repair and overhaul capabilities, we're expediting turnaround times and increasing parts availability to best support our customers' needs while maximising safety, quality and efficiency,” said Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream. “We will continue to invest in component repair, maintenance support and spare parts to enhance overall service for our customers, particularly as our fleet continues to grow.”

This new facility complements Gulfstream's broader regional presence, including its Fort Worth Alliance service centre and completions operations at Dallas Love Field. Additionally, Gulfstream's California repair and overhaul centre in Lincoln, California, specialises in avionics and electronics repairs.

The opening of the Texas repair and overhaul centre has also added new jobs to the region, and Gulfstream is actively recruiting for a variety of roles.
