The U.S. Air Force awarded a $991 million contract to Gulfstream Aerospace for C-20 and C-37 fleet support. The seven-year contractor logistics support (CLS) contract covers a range of global maintenance, component overhaul, repair, and modification services for the aircraft, which are primarily based on GIII/GIV and GV/G550 platforms.

Under the CLS contract, services cover aircraft for the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, Army, and Coast Guard, in addition to the USAF, and will be performed at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland; Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii; Ramstein Air Base, Germany; Marine Corps Base Hawaii, Kaneohe Bay; and Naval Base Ventura County, California.  

“For nearly 60 years, Gulfstream has been a trusted partner to governments and military organizations worldwide,” said Gulfstream president Mark Burns. “This demonstrates the strength of our world-class customer support network and its ability to support all of our customers’ missions. Gulfstream’s special missions business delivers cutting-edge aircraft expertly engineered for a wide range of critical operations and is currently experiencing unprecedented activity with customers around the world.”
