Gulfstream announced the opening of its new Texas Repair and Overhaul Center, located in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, at the NBAA-BACE in Las Vegas on Monday 13 October.
The facility will complement Gulfstream’s broader regional presence that includes the business jet manufacturer’s Fort Worth Alliance Service Center and completions operations at Dallas Love Field. The new development supports Gulfstream’s long-term strategy to increase in-house component support and enhance parts availability to minimise customer downtime.
The facility, which is 9,290 square metres in size, currently supports services such as repair and overhaul on wheels, brakes, batteries and hydraulics, along with structural and composite repairs and paint. The centre will ultimately expand to support avionics, landing gear and other components, and Gulfstream says it represents an investment of more than $21 million and houses over $5 million in dedicated spare parts and inventory for repairs.
“By expanding our in-house repair and overhaul capabilities, we’re expediting turnaround times and increasing parts availability to best support our customers’ needs while maximizing safety, quality and efficiency,” said Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream.
“We will continue to invest in component repair, maintenance support and spare parts to enhance overall service for our customers, particularly as our fleet continues to grow.”
