GULFSTREAM TO PARTICIPATE IN JET EXPO 2011

Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. will display three of its business jets at the sixth annual Jet Expo Russian International Business Aviation Exhibition being held Sept. 14-16 at Vnukovo-3 Airport near Moscow. The aircraft are the wide-cabin, high-speed Gulfstream G150; the large-cabin, long-range Gulfstream G450; and the large-cabin, ultra-long-range Gulfstream G550.

The company will also conduct an on-site Operators Forum on Sept. 15 from noon until 5 p.m. to provide updates and technical presentations on maintenance and operational subjects relevant to Gulfstream operators in Russia.

Several members of the company’s senior leadership team will be on hand for the three-day show to meet with customers and the media.

“The number of Gulfstream aircraft in Russia has grown considerably over the past several years,” said Larry Flynn, president, Gulfstream. “Since 2007, the Gulfstream fleet in the country more than quadrupled and all of our aircraft, from the G150 to G550, are well-represented.

“Gulfstream aircraft are ideally suited to the diverse needs of the Russian market,” Flynn said. “The G150, for example, can fly 5,500 km at Mach 0.75, meaning you can fly into London City from Moscow in the morning, conduct business in the city and be home for dinner that night. The aircraft’s nonstop range and flexibility make it an absolute best-in-class.”

The same holds true for the G550, one of the most popular Gulfstream aircraft in Russia. The G550 can fly nonstop from Moscow to nearly every major city thanks to its 12,500-km range. The aircraft can fly from Moscow to Sao Paulo or from Moscow to Perth, Australia, nonstop.

“In addition to seeing our aircraft, Jet Expo attendees will have an opportunity to learn more about our worldwide product support network and our research-and-development efforts,” Flynn said.
