Gulfstream Aerospace last week said it is celebrating the fifth anniversary of its Airborne Product Support (APS) service -- kind of a AAA card for Gulfstream operators -- and what the company says is the first-of-its-kind airborne aircraft maintenance and repair support program. Since the program officially launched on May 6, 2002, Gulfstream has completed more than 1,350 Airborne Product Support missions, 96 of which have been outside the U.S. The program uses a Gulfstream G100 jet, which is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and 365 days a year to assist customer aircraft under warranty. The G100 transports flight-essential parts, such as tires and windshields, test equipment and technicians to airports within North America, Central America and the Caribbean.
