Gulfstream delivers 200th G600 to customer

Gulfstream Aerospace has hit the 200 delivery mark for the Gulfstream G600, reaching the milestone a little over two years after it made its 100th delivery.

This aircraft was outfitted in St Louis and delivered to a North America-based customer, the company reported.

“Interest in the G600 remains incredibly strong worldwide as customers continue to be impressed with its remarkable capabilities,” said Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream. “Reaching the 200th delivery reflects the program’s continued momentum while reinforcing the aircraft’s proven maturity and reliability.”

To date, the G600 fleet has logged more than 197,000 flight hours and completed over 87,000 landings.

In January, Gulfstream announced that the G600 and its sister aircraft, the Gulfstream G500, received certification for steep-approach landing by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), allowing operations at airports such as London City.
