“This expansion allows Gulfstream Appleton to support more mid-cabin customers, get their aircraft in and out of maintenance faster and provide them with a comfortable place to work,” Mark Burns, president of Gulfstream Product Support, said in a statement.
The company is leasing the 25,500-square-foot building at Outagamie County Regional Airport from Outagamie County. The facility, located between the existing Gulfstream Appleton north and main site buildings, includes new hangar doors, which enable it to accommodate all Gulfstream mid-cabin models; remodeled customer and employee offices; and a glass-enclosed conference room.
Burns said the new hangar allows Gulfstream to house up to five aircraft under one roof.
“That is particularly important in the winter months, when the temperatures in Appleton are consistently in the teens and 20s, and snow and ice are obstacles.
Gulfstream Appleton is a certified U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and European Aviation Safety Agency Part 145 repair station, which means the site’s 900-plus employees can work on aircraft registered in the U.S. and European Union countries. In 2013, technicians at the Greenville location serviced more than 500 aircraft.
Gulfstream Appleton also is home to a large-cabin completions center. The site has about 300,000 square feet of hangar, shop and support space.
