Gulfstream Earns Brazil Certification for G280

Gulfstream announced today that its super-midsize G280 has received certification from Brazil’s civil aviation authority ANAC, paving the way for deliveries of the twinjet to begin to that country.

“We have delivered more than 50 G280s since the aircraft first went into service in November 2012,” said company president Larry Flynn. “Of all the countries in South America, this aircraft is particularly well suited for Brazil. Departing from São Paulo, the G280 can reach the entire continent without refueling and can fly to the U.S. and Europe with one stop.”

According to the airframer, a delivery of the 10-passenger G280, is pending in Brazil.

The twinjet has a range of 3,600 nm at Mach 0.80 and a max cruising altitude of 45,000 feet.
