Gulfstream Expands Brunswick, Georgia Mx Facility

by Chad Trautvetter

Gulfstream Aerospace expanded its Brunswick, Ga. service center with the opening of a newly constructed 110,000-sq-ft/9,290 sq-m hangar at Brunswick Golden Isles Airport. The expansion, which was announced in January 2014, has resulted in more than 60 new jobs at the site, with 40 more positions to be added by year-end.

The new building, which complements an adjacent company-owned maintenance facility and completions center, accommodates all Gulfstream aircraft models and more than doubles the site’s under-roof capacity from a mixture of seven large-cabin aircraft to as many as 16. Brunswick’s new hangar also includes two overhead cranes and a tail dock.

Meanwhile, Gulfstream announced that it is providing maintenance, repair and overhaul services at Teterboro (N.J.) Airport through sister company Jet Aviation’s on-airport facility. Gulfstream now has 11 technicians, along with support personnel, in Teterboro. The technicians are authorized to work under an FAA repair station authorization and will be managed by Gulfstream’s company-owned service center in Westfield, Mass.
