GULFSTREAM EXTENDS ‘MEET THE QUOTE’ PARTS PRICE-MATCHING PROGRAM
Program Provides Competitive Price-Matching On Most Popular Exchange Parts Until The End of July 2010
SAVANNAH, Ga., September 8, 2009 – Gulfstream
Aerospace, a wholly owned subsidiary of General Dynamics
(NYSE:GD), has extended its “Meet the Quote” spare parts
price-matching program until July 31, 2010. The
program was launched in March 2004 and reinstituted in
March 2009.
Meet the Quote includes price-matching on the most popular exchange parts — including valves, alternators, regulator and brake assemblies, actuators and display units — for Gulfstream GII, GIII, GIV/GIV-SP, GV, G100, G150, G200, G300, G400, G350, G450, G500, G550 and Astra aircraft.
“We have extended this program because of the response from our customers and operators,” said Mark Burns, president, Product Support, Gulfstream. “Our Meet the Quote program, coupled with our two-year or 2,000-hour-warranty program, provides a strong value to our customers.”
To
participate in the Meet the Quote program, a customer
submits to Gulfstream a current competitive quote on
a specific exchange part. If that part is priced
lower than the Gulfstream price for the same part in
comparable condition, Gulfstream will match the price
of the part for over-the-counter transactions. Meet
the Quote is offered to individuals who own, operate
or manage Gulfstream aircraft.
Meet the Quote is part of an ongoing Gulfstream commitment to readjust spares pricing to remain competitive.
