Gulfstream Aerospace announced the opening of its newly expanded customer support service center at Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport.
The 367,000 ft.² facility, Savannah Service Center East, represents a $150 million investment and includes offices, back shops and hangar space to accommodate up to 26 additional aircraft.
“We continue to expand and enhance our service capabilities in support of the continued growth of Gulfstream’s next-generation fleet including the recently certified G700,” says Derek Zimmerman, president, Gulfstream customer support. “The Savannah Service Center East expansion is part of our long-term strategic plan to create the industry’s most modern and sustainable service network, while significantly enhancing access and convenience for our customers.
According to Gulfstream, the service center is expected to receive a U.S. Green Building Council Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification for recycling at least 75% of related construction waste and for its use of sustainable technologies and materials.
The service center’s expansion was originally announced in 2018 and will add more than 200 new jobs to expand Gulfstream’s MRO capabilities in the region.
“Savannah, home to Gulfstream’s worldwide headquarters, is now our largest global service center location—this expansion ensures our dedicated team is equipped with the resources needed to further support our customers who are visiting this great city from around the world,” Zimmerman says.
