Gulfstream celebrates first G700 customer deliveries

Less than one month after achieving FAA certification, Gulfstream is celebrating the first customer deliveries for the all-new G700. Gulfstream shared on Tuesday that the first two G700 aircraft have been delivered and are now in service.

“Beginning G700 customer deliveries less than one month after achieving Federal Aviation Administration type certification marks an incredible milestone in Gulfstream’s history of raising the bar for the business aviation industry,” Gulfstream President Mark Burns said. “We appreciate the confidence our customers have demonstrated in our aircraft and look forward to continuing these deliveries in the weeks ahead.”

The G700 features the most spacious cabin in the industry, enhanced with the Gulfstream Cabin Experience with 100 percent fresh air, quiet noise levels, natural light from the 20 Gulfstream Panoramic Oval Windows and the industry’s lowest cabin altitude. The jet set over 50 city-pair speed records before it entered into service and can fly 7,750 nautical miles at Mach 0.85 or 6,650 nm at Mach 0.90. The G700’s maximum operating speed is Mach 0.935, making it the fastest in the Gulfstream fleet.

The long-awaited jet earned FAA certification on March 29. On April 8 Gulfstream announced the newly certified jet had earned additional production and interior supplemental type certifications ahead of customer deliveries.

“We are excited for our customers to experience the unparalleled G700 as we continue to deliver this exceptional aircraft around the world,” Burns said.
