Gulfstream Adds MRO Options in China

Gulfstream Aerospace added three authorized warranty facilities in China to replace its support operations at Beijing Capital Airport, the company said Tuesday. Deer Jet in Beijing, Business Aviation Asia in Shenzhen, and ExecuJet Haite Aviation Services China in Tianjin now serve as authorized warranty repairs and maintenance service providers for Gulfstream.

The facilities join Gulfstream’s previously authorized warranty locations in the region, including Metrojet in Hong Kong and Shanghai Hawker Pacific in Shanghai. Regional factory-authorized service centers include Jet Aviation locations in Hong Kong and Singapore.

“The addition of these authorized warranty facilities increases access to warranty service, maintenance, and parts for Gulfstream customers based in and traveling throughout the region,” said Gulfstream Customer Support chairman Derek Zimmerman. “Shenzhen, Beijing, and Tianjin are strategic business aviation hubs and we are pleased to offer our customers these new options for service.”

The new options in China align with an infrastructure expansion plan that saw Gulfstream announce in April the addition of 200,000 square feet of workspace at its Savannah, Georgia-based MRO facility. Following the Savannah announcement, the company opened a repair and overhaul shop at Farnborough in the UK that will bring significantly more capacity for work on wheels, brakes, and batteries. Other projects either finished or in progress over the last year include the expansion of facilities in Mesa, Arizona; Fort Worth; and Farnborough.
