Gulfstream consolidates completions centers; Georgia facilities unaffected

SAVANNAH - Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, a<br> wholly owned subsidiary of General Dynamics, will realign its aircraft completions work over the next three to six months, reducing its<br> aircraft completions centers from six to five. <br> <br> Over the transition period, Gulfstream will end completions operations at its Alliance facility in Fort Worth, Texas, which was acquired in June 2001 when the company bought Galaxy Aerospace. <br> <br> Most of the 355 employees and 80 contractors at the Alliance facility will be laid off; those with key skills will be offered positions at Gulfstream&#39;s Dallas site or another company location. Alliance employees will be notified of their status by the end of April. <br> <br> The company is reviewing future use of the Alliance site. &#34;This decision is the result of several months of careful evaluation and<br> analysis, This move will make maximum use of our facilities and further improve our efficiency.&#34;&#34; said Bill Boisture, president and chief operating officer, Gulfstream Aerospace. <br> <br> Gulfstream Aerospace currently has a fleet of five aircraft: the Gulfstream 100, G200, GIV-SP, GV and GV-SP. <br> <br> Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation designs, develops, manufactures, markets and services the world&#39;s most technologically advanced intercontinental business jet aircraft.
