Aircelle wins Gulfstream’s ‘Supplier of the year’ award

Aircelle's supplier excellence has been recognised for the fifth consecutive year with a Gulfstream Aerospace ‘Supplier of the year' award for flight control spoilers that equip the Gulfstream G450 and G350 business jets.

The award was presented to Aircelle managers at Gulfstream's international supplier conference, which was held in June at the aircraft manufacturer's home city of Savannah, Georgia, USA.

Aircelle's spoilers were rated as excellent in all categories measured by the Gulfstream reporting system for suppliers: quality, reliability, delivery, total value chain cost and after-market support.

Production of the spoilers is carried out at Aircelle's Burnley UK facility, using a high speed machining process. The spoiler is built with aluminium skins, which are bonded in place.

“We are pleased to have been selected for this recognition by Gulfstream Aerospace, which is known worldwide for the quality and performance of its business jets,” said Aircelle chairman and CEO, Vincent Mascré. “The award underscores Aircelle's commitment to supplier excellence across its product line, and I congratulate everyone at our Burnley plant for their excellent team effort.”
