Regional Operators' Forum Slated for Nov. 14
SAVANNAH, Ga., November 8, 2011 - Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. will display three of its business jets at the Dubai Airshow, the Middle East aerospace event being held Nov. 13-17 in Dubai. The show will feature the wide-cabin, high-speed G150, the large-cabin, long-range G450 and the large-cabin, ultra-long-range G550.
The aircraft will be available for viewing at the Airport Expo Dubai, which is adjacent to Dubai International Airport. In addition to the aircraft on static display, Gulfstream will have a chalet where it can host customers.
“Gulfstream has nearly 150 aircraft in the Middle East and Africa, a number that has grown consistently over the past decade,” said Larry Flynn, president, Gulfstream. “Part of that growth is attributable to the efforts we extend during the Dubai Airshow, where we communicate our aircraft's tremendous capabilities, their industry-leading dispatch reliability rates and the broad range of missions they can perform.
Gulfstream will also conduct a regional Operators' Forum on Monday, Nov. 14, to provide updates and technical presentations on maintenance and operational subjects relevant to Gulfstream operators in the Middle East.
