GULFSTREAM LUTON FACILITY EARNS NEW CERTIFICATIONS TO WORK ON AIRCRAFT REGISTERED AROUND THE WORLD

Facility Has 14 Foreign Authority Approvals To Provide Maintenance And Repairs

SAVANNAH, Ga., May 3, 2010 - The Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. Service Center at the United Kingdom’s London-Luton Airport continues to receive approval from civil aviation governing bodies worldwide to perform maintenance and repairs on business aircraft, most recently in 2009 from Canada and Aruba.

The 7-year-old Gulfstream facility, the only Gulfstream service center outside the United States, is a certified Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Part 145 repair station, which means Luton employees can work on Gulfstream aircraft registered in the U.S. and European Union countries.

Gulfstream Luton also has EASA Part 21 Design Organization Approval, which means its employees can install and repair avionic equipment and cabin interiors for Gulfstream aircraft registered in EU countries.

Gulfstream Luton also has approvals from the civil aviation authorities in Bermuda, Bahrain, Cayman Islands, Hong Kong, Isle of Man, Kuwait, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom.

"Luton is an attractive place for Gulfstream to be," said Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream Product Support. "Our business there continues to expand as the number of Gulfstream operators increases in Europe and the Middle East. We added six technicians to the staff in the last year and foresee the need for more people in the coming months. We’re very excited about Luton’s present capabilities and future potential."

In 2009, Luton’s 56,000-square-foot service center and its 123 employees serviced nearly 1,100 Gulfstream aircraft. To support the growing fleet of Gulfstream aircraft in Europe and the Middle East, Gulfstream Luton has a spare parts and materials inventory valued at approximately $20 million.

Gulfstream operators in Europe can also get their aircraft serviced at six Gulfstream-authorized facilities: Jet Aviation in Basel and Geneva, Switzerland, Hannover, Germany, and Moscow; Altenrhein Aviation Ltd. in Altenrhein, Switzerland; and CORJET Maintenance in Madrid.
