GULFSTREAM SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCES PRICES ON SPARE PARTS FOR
BUSINESS-JET OWNERS AND OPERATORS
Gulfstream Adjusts Prices to Attract New Customers
and Retain Established Ones
SAVANNAH, Ga., June 11, 2004 – Gulfstream Aerospace, a wholly owned subsidiary of General Dynamics (NYSE: GD), has reduced prices by up to 48 percent on more than 6,000 consumable spare parts in its ongoing effort to provide competitively priced parts for owners and operators of Gulfstream business-jet aircraft.
“Over the past few months, we’ve been cutting our prices on many of our most popular consumable parts, some by nearly half, and as a result, we’ve received overwhelmingly positive response from our customers,” said Larry Flynn, president, product support, Gulfstream.
In May and June, Gulfstream sent letters to all of its aircraft owners and operators, announcing that it had reduced prices on various spare parts, including ‘wear & tear,’ hardware and a select group of popular interior, airframe and major component spare parts.
The reduced-priced parts are available to Gulfstream aircraft owners, operators and management companies as supplies last. The price reductions apply to over-the-counter transactions as well as service center visits to all Gulfstream and General Dynamics Aviation Services locations. Along with competitively priced parts, Gulfstream includes a one-year or 1,000-hour warranty, whichever comes first, on every part it sells.
For more information or to order parts, domestic Gulfstream aircraft operators can call 1-800-810-GULF (4853) or 1-866-271-GDAS (4327). International operators can call 912-965-4178. Available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, Gulfstream’s experienced spare-parts sales representatives ensure parts are shipped in the most expeditious manner, usually from a company-operated inventory location nearest the customer. Certain restrictions may apply.
