Gulfstream Opens Mesa Technical Training Centre

Gulfstream’s new Mesa, Arizona, technical training center enhances aviation expertise with state-of-the-art facilities, offering advanced training for technicians and pilots in the business aviation sector.

Savannah, Ga., August 4, 2025 â€” Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. today announced the opening of its newest Technical Training Center (TTC) in Mesa, Arizona. The facility provides dedicated space for on-the-job training to expand the local workforce and support Gulfstream’s growing fleet. It is the second TTC facility for Gulfstream, the first of which opened in 2015 at the company’s headquarters in Savannah.

The new TTC offers more than 10,000 square feet of classroom and lab space for hands-on training from Gulfstream instructors. The facility will house a Gulfstream G650 fuselage segment and empennage assembly, a G700 engine, a G600 simulator and a G200 aircraft. This equipment will support skills development training for new and existing technicians in several areas, including sheet metal work, avionics, mechanical maintenance and safety training. 

“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, 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 Mesa training facility complements the all-new maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility that officially opened at Mesa Gateway Airport earlier this year. The MRO has already brought more than 300 jobs to the region, and Gulfstream is actively hiring more team members, many of whom will be onboarded and trained at the new TTC. 

To help build the local workforce, Gulfstream continues to partner with Chandler-Gilbert Community College to train and hire students through their airframe and powerplant (A&P) maintenance technology programs. In addition to completing coursework, participating students receive Gulfstream-led training at the Mesa TTC to prepare them for full-time positions upon graduation. Gulfstream is proud to have already hired 40 students from Chandler-Gilbert.
