Changes To Come In The Second Quarter Of 2018

Gulfstream has announced that its company-owned service center in Beijing will extend its hours of operation, enhancing its support of operators based in and traveling through the region. During the second quarter of 2018, the facility at Beijing Capital International Airport will add a shift from 3:30 p.m. to midnight Monday through Friday.

To support the extra shift, Gulfstream Beijing will add approximately 10 technicians or inspectors.

The company also announced plans to add several capabilities to further enhance its support of operators based in Greater China, including Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) approval for 36-month heavy maintenance inspections for the G650 and G650ER.

“The additional shift at Gulfstream Beijing ensures that our customers receive the best support possible while traveling to or within China,” said Derek Zimmerman, president, Gulfstream Product Support. “Adding scheduled heavy maintenance inspections is part of our plan for the region as our aircraft there mature. These additions reflect our long-term strategy for ensuring our customers receive high-quality service, regardless of location.”

In 2018, Gulfstream Beijing also intends to seek CAAC approval for 96-month inspections for the G550 and G450; 72-month inspections for the G280; and 144-month inspections for the G200.
