SAVANNAH, Ga., May 9, 2012 — Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. will host its biennial Operators Conference, June 11 to 14 at the Savannah International Trade and Convention Center.  Customers and suppliers will receive updates on Gulfstream programs and technical information on the company’s aircraft.  The event also serves as a forum for feedback and ideas.

Additions to this year’s Operators Conference include entry-into-service breakout sessions for customers of Gulfstream’s two new aircraft, the ultra-long-range G650 and mid-range G280, and a full day of pilot-dedicated presentations aimed at increasing the safety and efficiency of flight departments.
