The new Mesa TTC features over 10,000 square feet of classroom and lab space, providing hands-on training for new and existing technicians. Equipped with a Gulfstream G650 fuselage section and empennage, a G700 engine, a G600 simulator, and a G200 aircraft, the centre offers practical instruction in sheet metal work, avionics, mechanical maintenance and safety procedures.

“Investing in workforce development and training ensures that with every interaction, our customers receive the industry-leading support Gulfstream is known for,” said Lor Izzard, senior vice president of Gulfstream Customer Support. “The addition of our newest Technical Training Center in Mesa provides even more opportunities for employees to enhance their skills to deliver the highest quality experience and service for our customers.”

The TTC supports the all-new maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility at Mesa Gateway Airport, which opened earlier this year and has already created over 300 jobs. Gulfstream is actively recruiting additional team members, many of whom will receive initial and ongoing training at the new TTC.

To further strengthen the local workforce, Gulfstream continues its partnership with Chandler-Gilbert Community College’s airframe and powerplant maintenance programs. Students gain practical experience through Gulfstream-led training at the TTC, preparing them for full-time employment upon graduation. Gulfstream has already hired 40 students through this initiative.

With more than 3,300 aircraft in service worldwide and a product line that includes the G280, G400, G500, G600, G700 and G800, Gulfstream continues to pair advanced aircraft with a strong global support network.
