SAVANNAH, GA – Gulfstream Aerospace Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of General Dynamics, recently launched BudgetPlus, a spare-parts subscription service that offers mid-cabin Gulfstream owners and operators a way to manage their annual maintenance costs. The launch formalizes a pilot program Gulfstream introduced in 2005.

BudgetPlus is a cost-assured parts provision program for owners and operators of Gulfstream G200, G150, G100 and Astra aircraft. For a flat hourly fee, Gulfstream provides program participants with exchange and consumable parts as needed. Fees are based on the age of the aircraft and are charged on a monthly basis, with a required minimum of 300 hours per year.

"Working in concert with the industry-leading Gulfstream Product Support network, BudgetPlus offers mid-cabin operators convenience, consistency and control over their maintenance costs," said Mark Burns, president, Product Support, Gulfstream. "This program simplifies the maintenance process for the people our owners and operators entrust to service their Gulfstream aircraft."
