Jet Aviation Center Is Sixth Worldwide Line Service Facility
SAVANNAH , Ga. , February 12, 2008 – Gulfstream Aerospace has added the Jet Aviation maintenance center at Moscow Vnukovo as a Gulfstream Authorized Warranty Line Service Facility for the full line of Gulfstream jets. The addition is the result of an amended agreement signed recently by Gulfstream and Jet Aviation.
The Moscow location will provide basic line maintenance for the GIV, GIV-SP, GV, G100, G150, G200, G300, G350, G400, G450, G500 and G550.
Gulfstream has also announced the appointment of a new Field Service Representative in Moscow who will provide immediate customer support and service to in-country and in-transit Gulfstream aircraft.
“We are pleased to work side by side with Jet Aviation to provide Gulfstream operators with the high-quality, around-the-clock technical support they’ve come to expect,” said Larry Flynn, president, Product Support, Gulfstream. “Having an Authorized Warranty Line Service Facility as well as a full-time Gulfstream Field Service Representative in Moscow gives our customers an extra level of service. The increase in business aviation travel to and from Moscow more than justifies this agreement.”
”Jet Aviation has a long-standing relationship with Gulfstream that goes back to 1988 when Jet Aviation Basel was appointed as the company’s first Gulfstream Warranty Service Center,” said Peter G. Edwards, CEO of the Jet Aviation Group. “This important step further demonstrates the alignment of the two companies in support of the growing Gulfstream fleet in key international markets.”
In addition to the new Moscow location, Gulfstream has five Authorized Warranty Line Service Facilities in Johannesburg, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong and Venezuela.
Jet Aviation also operates Gulfstream Authorized Warranty Repair Facilities in Basel and Geneva, Switzerland; Hannover, Germany; Jeddah, Saudi Arabia; Dubai, United Arab Emirates; and Singapore.
Gulfstream and General Dynamics Aviation Services operate 11 service centers in the United States and one in Luton, England.
