Gulfstream Aerospace brought nearly 2,000 attendees from six continents and more than 30 countries to its reworked Skyward customer event in Savannah, Georgia, held over three days at the Savannah Convention Center.
The event replaces the long-standing Operators & Suppliers Conference with a more flexible format, combining technical briefings, leadership updates, open forums and networking into a programme shaped around customer needs.
Participants selected sessions aligned with their roles, while maintenance professionals were able to earn credits towards Federal Aviation Administration Inspection Authorization renewal.
“Skyward is our premier customer event and the largest gathering of Gulfstream operators and suppliers worldwide,” says Lor Izzard, senior vice president, Gulfstream Customer Support. “This event provides an engaging forum for us to bring customers and industry partners together with our team of experts to share developments and gather feedback in real time.”
“Customers place their trust in our worldwide support network, and we are committed to strengthening that partnership through expertise, transparency and meaningful collaboration,” adds Izzard. “The insights shared during Skyward help drive our path forward and ensure we deliver an aircraft ownership and service experience that exceeds expectations.”
