Gulfstream Aerospace has signed a new authorised warranty facility agreement with Lagos-based ExecuJet Aviation Nigeria (EJAN) to provide warranty and maintenance service and spare parts for Gulfstream G450, G550, G650 and G650ER aircraft in west Africa.

The 275,000 sq ft/25,548 sqm VIP aircraft terminal facility encompasses an international departure/arrival terminal, FBO and maintenance facility. It is the largest in sub-Saharan Africa and includes a 50,000 sq ft/4,645 sqm hangar space that can accommodate up to four G550 jets simultaneously. In preparation for service, EJAN technicians have completed FlightSafety International training programmes specific to Gulfstream aircraft.

“As we have expanded our service network with new, modern facilities, we are also expanding our footprint of authorised warranty facilities as the Gulfstream fleet continues to grow around the world, including in west Africa,” says president, customer support Derek Zimmerman. “We are pleased to partner with ExecuJet Aviation Nigeria as our latest service provider to give our customers in the region a new option for their warranty and maintenance needs.”

EJAN, the largest facility of its kind in west Africa, is adjacent to the Murtala Muhammed International airport and located in a free trade zone for parts and maintenance.

The Gulfstream G700 will stop in Nigeria at EJAN during its upcoming world tour. This G700 debut in Africa is a further demonstration of Gulfstream's commitment to the region and will give customers a first-hand opportunity to experience the most spacious cabin in the business aviation industry.
