General Dynamics is promoting Gulfstream Aerospace president Larry Flynn to executive vice president of the parent corporation’s aerospace group, putting in place a succession plan for when Joe Lombardo retires in June. Succeeding Flynn will be Mark Burns, currently president of product support for Gulfstream. The changes take effect July 1.

In his new role, Flynn will have responsibility for both Gulfstream and aircraft maintenance, completions and FBO provider Jet Aviation. Flynn, 63, became president of Gulfstream in 2011, freeing Lombardo, then the president, to focus on his duties as executive vice president for General Dynamics.
