Gulfstream hits milestone for G500 and G600 fleet

Gulfstream Aerospace has announced the 300th customer delivery of an aircraft in the Gulfstream G500 and Gulfstream G600 aircraft fleet.

“Delivering 300 aircraft is a clear indication of strong interest in the G500 and G600 around the world,” said Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream. “Thanks to investments from our parent company, General Dynamics, these aircraft continue to achieve new milestones as customer demand remains steadfast. The advanced efficiencies established by this programme have provided us with the flexibility to expand our production line, supporting the success of our next-generation fleet well into the future.”

This announcement follows other recent milestones for the G500 and G600 fleet. In June, the G500 and G600 each logged more than 100,000 flight hours. Also in the past year, both aircraft received FAA certification for steep-approach operations, opening access to even more airports, including some of the world’s most challenging.

The G500 can fly 5,300 nautical miles at Mach 0.85 or 4,500 nm/8,334 km at Mach 0.90. The G600 can fly 6,600 nm/12,223 km at Mach 0.85 or 5,600 nm/10,371 km at Mach 0.90. Both aircraft feature a maximum operating speed of Mach 0.925.
