At Le Bourget, Gulfstream has established access to the 16,500-square-foot Hangar H2, supplementing the company’s Field and Airborne Support Teams (FAST) unit added in 2017. “Our ability to work in a hangar at Le Bourget will protect a customer’s aircraft from the elements and create an efficient working environment with room for tooling and equipment,” said Gulfstream Customer Support president Derek Zimmerman. Gulfstream has three EASA-certified FAST technicians at Le Bourget who are managed by its company-owned service center at London Luton Airport.
