Gulfstream, the business-jet making unit of General Dynamics Corp., said today it would spend $500 million and add 1,000 jobs in Savannah, Georgia, to meet a growing market for large-cabin aircraft.
The investment, to be spread over seven years, will pay for building plants for large-cabin planes like the G650 along with maintenance capacity for all models, Joe Lombardo, president of Gulfstream, said in a telephone interview. New hires in technology and engineering will be followed by manufacturing and service jobs, Lombardo said.
