Gulfstream Grows Mesa Service Capacity With Addition of New Hangar Space

Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. announced the addition of new hangar space adjacent to Gulfstream Customer Support’s all-new Mesa, Arizona, service center, which continues to progress toward completion next year at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport. The new hangar is located at the SkyBridge development at the airport and augments hangar space Gulfstream established at the facility in March.

Gulfstream Customer Support announced the new Mesa facility in November 2021 and broke ground last May. The new 225,000-square-foot/20,908 square-meter service center comprises a more than $100 million investment and will significantly expand Gulfstream’s maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) capabilities in the Western United States.

“Since we announced the new Mesa facility last November, the response has been outstanding,” said Derek Zimmerman, president, Gulfstream Customer Support. “The addition of this new hangar space doubles our current capacity and is part of our commitment to enhancing convenience for our customers. This expansion also allows us to continue to develop our workforce in Mesa and hire more technicians who will be well-known to customers when the new facility opens next year.”

With the additional hangar space, Gulfstream’s current footprint grows to 112,480 sq ft/10,450 sq m for routine inspections and maintenance for Gulfstream in-service aircraft as well as aircraft on ground (AOG) support for immediate customer needs.

Workforce development is a significant area of focus for Gulfstream across sites, and in Mesa, Gulfstream Customer Support established partnerships with Arizona State University and Chandler-Gilbert Community College. More than 80 employees have already been trained and hired to support customer aircraft at the facility, and Gulfstream anticipates that number to grow to more than 200 when the larger facility is complete.
