Another Gulfstream Maintenance Hangar Opens In Brunswick, Georgia Gulfstream announced today that they have opened another maintenance hangar in Brunswick, Georgia. The additional facility is expected to plus 100 jobs and double aircraft site capacity. The hangar has been fully operational since the end of May according to Gulfstream. The nearly 110,000-square-foot/9,290 square-meter hangar at Brunswick Golden Isles Airport complements an adjacent Gulfstream maintenance facility and completions center. The new building accommodates all Gulfstream aircraft models and more than doubles the site’s under-roof capacity from a mixture of seven large-cabin aircraft to as many as 16. The expansion, which was announced in January 2014, has resulted in more than 60 new jobs at the site. Approximately 40 more positions are expected to be added this year.
“This is a very exciting day for Brunswick, Glynn County and Gulfstream,” said Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream. “This hangar is a tremendous asset to our operation here, helping us enhance the reliability and availability of our aircraft, continue to maintain a high level of safety and provide a state-of-the-art workplace for our employees. We’re thankful to the Georgia Department of Economic Development, the Glynn County commissioners, the Brunswick and Glynn County Development Authority, and the Glynn County Airport Commission for their essential support.” Gulfstream announced the hangar opening before an audience comprised of most of the site’s 250 employees along with local dignitaries, including the Glynn County commissioners, Brunswick Mayor Cornell Harvey and Brunswick and Glynn County Development Authority Interim Director Mel Baxter.
