Gulfstream Opens Gulfstream East Campus at Company Headquarters

Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. on September 13 marked the opening of its new maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility at company headquarters in Savannah with a ribboncutting ceremony. The Gulfstream East Campus, opened to accommodate fleet growth, has been operational since Sepember 11.

The 202,000-sq ft building located on the east side of Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport was built with an investment of more than $55 million and gives Gulfstream more than 1 million sq ft of dedicated MRO hangar, office and back shop space in Savannah. The expansion, announced in April 2018, is expected to result in approximately 200 Customer Support-related jobs over several years, some of which will be filled by graduates of Savannah Technical College’s Aviation Technology Division.

“This is a great day for our customers as well as Savannah, Chatham County and Gulfstream,” said Mark Burns, President, Gulfstream. “We are very excited about this expansion, which follows the recent entry into service of our two all-new aircraft, the Gulfstream G500™ and Gulfstream G600™. To help ensure those aircraft and the rest of our growing fleet continue to have the best service and support in the industry, we built and staffed this fabulous facility.”

“We are grateful to many for their critical support in this project, including our parent company, General Dynamics; Savannah Technical College; the Georgia Department of Economic Development; the Savannah Economic Development Authority; the Savannah Airport Commission; and the city of Savannah.”
