Gulfstream News: Gulfstream G500 and G600 Fleet Surpasses 400 Customer Deliveries
Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. today announced the 400th customer delivery of its award-winning Gulfstream G500 and Gulfstream G600 fleet, a milestone that underscores sustained global demand for the aircraft, their innovation and performance leadership.
The milestone delivery was a G600 outfitted at Gulfstream’s St. Louis facility for a customer in the Asia-Pacific region.
Since entering service, the G500 and G600 fleet has accumulated more than 519,000 flight hours and over 200,000 landings while demonstrating exceptional operational performance worldwide. The program has also achieved more than 190 city-pair speed records, contributing to Gulfstream’s overall total of 815 records.
Recently, the G600 made a record-setting flight from Sapporo, Japan, to Savannah, flying 5,835 nautical miles/10,806 kilometers in 11 hours and 38 minutes at an average cruise speed of Mach 0.88.
“Reaching 400 deliveries is a testament to the confidence customers around the world continue to place in Gulfstream and in the G500 and G600,” said Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream. “Together, these aircraft have fueled sustained demand for our next-generation fleet and play a pivotal role in Gulfstream’s vision to offer an aircraft for every mission.”
The G500 and its sister aircraft, the G600, debuted the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck and have earned numerous awards for interior excellence, quality and craftsmanship.
The aircraft feature a clean-sheet design, a maximum operating speed of Mach 0.925 and the Gulfstream Cabin Experience with 100% fresh air, a plasma ionization air purification system, class-leading cabin altitude and Gulfstream Panoramic Oval Windows.
Earlier this year, both aircraft received European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) certification for steep-approach landing, enabling access to even more airports worldwide, including London City, providing customers with even greater flexibility.
