Company Advertises Short-Field Capability On City-Pair Record Run

Gulfstream Aerospace announced its latest record-making attempt between standing city-pairs, this time a speedy journey by its G500 and G600 aircraft flying between Switzerland's Sion and Lugano Airport, as well as the UK's London City airport. The entry into London City is a hallmark demonstration of low-speed handling and short-field capability with its notoriously steep approach. Following next year's anticipated FAA and EASA steep-approach certification, the aircraft duo will gain access to a number of challenging airports worldwide, opening up a considerable array of smaller locations not otherwise available to jets capable of competing with the Gulfstream's range.
