People's Daily Online—Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. announced on Wednesday that its aircraft service center in Beijing — Gulfstream Beijing — was officially open for business, becoming the first manufacturer of business jet original equipment to offer MRO services for its customers in China.

Located at Beijing Capital International Airport, Gulfstream Beijing comprises an 82,000-square-foot (7,618-sq-m) hangar and 22,000 square feet (2,044 sq m) of offices and back shops.
