After expanding its service center in Augusta, Georgia last year to 210,000 sq ft, StandardAero has inducted the first two Gulfstream aircraft for maintenance events there. The added 80,500-sq-ft facility includes a new maintenance hangar and expanded engine shop.
Both of the Gulfstreams inducted into the facility at Augusta Regional Airport (KAGS) are GIV-SPs. One is in for regular inspection due list items and the other for airframe inspection and installation of a Starlink satcom system.
StandardAero offers its CompleteCare services for Gulfstreams at its Augusta; Springfield, Illinois; and Van Nuys, California MRO facilities. The CompleteCare program provides onsite engine repair and overhaul as well as APU, airframe, avionics, parts, interior refurbishment, and paint services. Mobile service teams are also available for AOG situations.
“We are extremely fortunate to have formed a Gulfstream specialty maintenance crew to add to the existing expertise of our site here in Augusta,” said Chris Bodine, v-p and general manager of StandardAero AGS. “We are actively scheduling GIV, G450, GV, and G550 service events through 2026 and beyond, with additional model support coming soon.”
