FIVE GULFSTREAM BUSINESS JET MODELS CERTIFIED BY THE GENERAL ADMINISTRATION OF CIVIL AVIATION OF CHINA

Certification Allows Aircraft Registration and Operation Within China

SAVANNAH, Ga., February 18, 2008 – Gulfstream Aerospace announced today that it has received type certification from the General Administration of the Civil Aviation of China (CAAC) for five of its business jet models: the Gulfstream GV; G350; G450; G500 and G550. Those models join the Gulfstream GIV and GIV-SP which were certified by the CAAC on September 15, 2003. The type certification allows the registration and operation of the aircraft models within China. In 2005, the CAAC also granted approval to Gulfstream’s Long Beach, CA., service center to provide support for Chinese-registered GIV aircraft as well as Gulfstream GIIs and GIIIs. “These type certificates enable us to further expand our business activities within China,” said Joe Lombardo, president, Gulfstream Aerospace. “There is no question China is one of the most significant emerging markets for business jet aircraft. CAAC type certificates make it easier to offer our products to potential Chinese customers.” The G550, G500, G450 and G350 business jets feature virtually the same onboard systems and, along with the Gulfstream GV, share the same pilot type rating. As a result, operators of multi-Gulfstream aircraft fleets reduce their operations costs associated with aircraft maintenance, pilot and technician training and spare-parts inventory.
