GULFSTREAM’S U.K. SERVICE CENTER CLEARED TO WORK ON GULFSTREAM G450 BUSINESS JETS REGISTERED IN EUROPEAN UNION COUNTRIES
Gulfstream’s Luton Service Center Also Receives G550 Maintenance Approval from the Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department

SAVANNAH , Ga. , Aug 7, 2006 – The Gulfstream Aerospace Service Center at London-Luton Airport has received official approval from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to perform maintenance work on Gulfstream G450 business-jet aircraft. The U.K.-based service center also received approval from the Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department (HKCAD) to perform maintenance on Hong Kong-registered Gulfstream G550 business-jet aircraft. The HKCAD is expected to approve work on the G450 later this year.

Operators of G450 aircraft registered in European Union countries, as well as operators of G550 aircraft registered in Hong Kong , now can take their aircraft to Gulfstream’s Luton Service Center for regular scheduled maintenance and inspections and warranty work.

Larry Flynn, president, Product Support, Gulfstream, explained the significance of these approvals. "With the increasing level of corporate air traffic within Europe , as well as between London and Hong Kong , the maintenance approvals from EASA and the HKCAD enable us to provide our Gulfstream technical expertise at a location that’s convenient to our G450 and G550 operators."

Gulfstream Luton currently provides comprehensive service for European Union-based G550 and G500 business jets. Additionally, it provides service for out-of-production Gulfstream aircraft – the GV, GIV/GIV-SP, GIII and the GII . Before the end of this year, Gulfstream Luton will begin servicing G200 aircraft.

Earlier this year, the Gulfstream Luton facility added $4.5 million in spare parts to its inventory to support the growing fleet of Gulfstream business jets operating in Europe and the Middle East .
