The 75,000-square-foot hangar and accompanying office area nearly doubles space at the site, allowing Gulfstream Luton technicians to more efficiently service Gulfstream’s entire fleet, including the all-new G650, the company’s flagship aircraft.

"The entire Luton customer experience has improved,” said Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream Product Support. “We can support more customers, get their aircraft in and out of maintenance faster than ever, and we have a place for them to work and relax. Moving into this world-class facility is a milestone for this 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week operation that serves the highest volume of transient Gulfstream traffic in Europe.”

"The combination of the new hangar and warehouse gives Luton a much bigger footprint in the region to support the demands of our growing fleet in Europe, Africa and the Middle East,” said Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream Product Support. “We’ll demonstrate our continued ability to meet those demands and more as we prepare for the entry-into-service of our two new aircraft, the G650 and G280, and to support Gulfstream operators at the 2012 Olympics in London.”
