Gulfstream Aerospace

Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation designs, builds, and services business jets. The company has been based in Savannah, Georgia, since 1967. Its campus there holds the worldwide headquarters, a research and development center, a design showroom, and manufacturing and completion facilities. Gulfstream is owned by General Dynamics, which acquired the company in 1999. The company traces its start to the first flight of the Gulfstream I in 1958.

The company produces six business aircraft models. These include the Gulfstream G800, which the company describes as the longest range business aircraft. The lineup also includes the G700, G600, G500, G400, and G300. The G700 offers the most spacious cabin in the fleet. The G600 features award winning style and technology. The G500 provides next generation performance and efficiency. The G400 is described as a combination of speed and efficiency. The G300 offers super midsize flight with an all new flight deck and iconic windows.

Gulfstream also builds special mission aircraft for government and research use. These aircraft serve roles beyond standard business aviation. The company provides aircraft for unique operational requirements.

The company supports customers through a global network. Gulfstream runs its own service centers and spare parts distribution centers. It operates 12 spare parts distribution centers and maintains 2 billion dollars of spare parts inventory. The company also runs the Gulfstream FAST field and airborne support teams. There are 24 FAST bases with 135 or more technicians. The customer support team includes about 5,000 people. Support includes 24 hour technical operations support.

Factory authorized service centers are run by sister company Jet Aviation. Independent authorized warranty facilities add further coverage. Gulfstream opened a component repair and overhaul facility in the Dallas Fort Worth area in 2025. That facility handles wheels, brakes, and landing gear. A facility in Lincoln, California, repairs avionic and electronic components. The company also runs a Honeywell authorized APU shop. Service centers include locations in Van Nuys, California, and Farnborough, England.

The company employs more than 20,000 people. More than 3,000 Gulfstream aircraft are in operation worldwide.
