Company Notes 100 Day Mark Since FAA Certification

Gulfstream Aerospace Corp.’s G700 business jet has reached the 100-day mark since its certification by the FAA on March 29, 2024.

The company, headquartered in Savannah, Georgia, made the announcement today (July 8), and highlighted its seamless entry into service as it has since then added certification by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and type certificate validations from Mexico and seven other countries. The aircraft has also set a total of about 60 city-pair speed records including its two most recent: 6 hours 16 minutes from Paris to Montreal, and the 8 hours 46 minutes from São Paulo to White Plains, New York, flights.

The company embedded Customer Support Teams throughout the development and testing of the aircraft to facilitate operational readiness immediately upon certification.

Those teams are also enabling seamless transitions into service as customer deliveries rise.

Gulfstream President Mark Burns remarked, “We planned for a seamless entry into service for the G700, and this incredible start is a testament to both the maturity of the program and the dedication of the Gulfstream team. Thanks to the investments we made across our business, from research and development to manufacturing and completions, the G700 program is exceeding customer expectations – they are flying their aircraft around the world immediately upon delivery, and the feedback we are hearing is outstanding.”
