Gulfstream G280 Sets Another Record

Flight Brings Aircraft's Record Total To 54

Gulfstream's G280 has set a speed record between Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Luton, England, completing the flight in just seven hours and boosting the aircraft’s record-setting tally to 54.

The aircraft departed Gerald R. Ford International Airport near Grand Rapids at 7:43 a.m. local time and arrived at London Luton Airport at 7:43 p.m. local time, completing the 3,377-nautical-mile journey at an average speed of Mach 0.82.

“This record demonstrates the G280’s ability to make nonstop transatlantic flights other aircraft in the class just can’t match,” said Scott Neal, senior vice president, Worldwide Sales and Marketing, Gulfstream. “That translates into substantial time savings for G280 operators.”

Pending approval by the U.S. National Aeronautic Association, the city-pair record will be sent to the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale in Switzerland for recognition as a world record.
