Gulfstream has signed an exclusive spare parts consignment agreement with aviation services provider Air Works India Engineering Pvt. Ltd.
Under the agreement, Gulfstream positions frequently needed aircraft replacement parts at Air Works’ warehouse in Bengaluru, India, while Air Works arranges for parts warehousing, customs clearance and delivery to customers.
Gulfstream began stocking parts at Air Works’ warehouse adjacent to Bengaluru International Airport in April. The approximate parts value is expected to reach $15m by the end of 2013.
“By having inventory in India, we can expedite delivery of parts to domestic and in-transit customers, quite possibly saving hours or even days,” said Derek Zimmerman, vice president, Product Support Materials, Gulfstream. “This expediency can lower costs for operators and significantly reduce aircraft downtime, particularly during aircraft-on-ground situations.”
The inventory at Air Works includes rotable and consumable parts for all in-production Gulfstream business jets along with out-of-production models such as the GV, GIV and G200.
