Gulfstream Aerospace has manufactured its 1,000th aircraft wing after moving production to its Savannah-based manufacturing facility in 2012. All wings for Gulfstream large-cabin business jets—the G400/500/600, G650ER, and G700/800—are produced at the company's headquarters in Savannah, Georgia. The 1,000th wing shipset will be installed on a G600.

“Production of the 1,000th wing at our headquarters in Savannah is a testament to how advanced our technology, production, and design processes have become with the help of the industry’s most talented workforce,” said Mark Burns, president of Gulfstream. “Thanks to the investments made across the business, the enhanced operational efficiency and flexibility of our in-house manufacturing facilities ensure we continue to deliver the utmost in quality and innovation when creating and delivering the world’s finest aviation experience.”

In 2018, Triumph shifted its Gulfstream G650 wing box and wing completion work to Gulfstream’s plant in Savannah. Over the following years, Triumph continued to shift more of its G650 and G700 work to Gulfstream to divest non-core operations. That hand-off followed the transfer of Triumph’s G650 wing assembly lines in Nashville, Tennessee, and Tulsa, Oklahoma, to the Savannah facility.

In 2022, Gulfstream announced the expansion of the wing manufacturing facility, as well as an expansion of the adjacent G400/500/600 manufacturing complex, to meet growing customer demand.
