Gulfstream Adds India to Bevy of G700 Certifications

Gulfstream Aerospace has added India to its list of approvals for the G700. The Indian Director General of Civil Aviation’s approval followed certifications of the G500 and G600 in the latter half of last year. The approvals enable Gulfstream to deliver the ultra-long-range twinjets into India, as well as build on its presence in the still-nascent business aviation market there.

“We are seeing strong momentum in India as interest in our next-generation aircraft continues to grow,” said Gulfstream Aerospace president Mark Burns. “The G700 in particular offers a transformative advantage with its globe-spanning range and the most spacious cabin in the industry. We look forward to continued growth of the Gulfstream fleet for customers throughout India and around the world.”

First approved by the U.S. FAA in March 2024, the G700 has received more than a dozen certifications wordlwide and also racked up more than 90 city-pair speed records. With a 7,750-nm range at Mach 0.85 or a 6,650-nm range at Mach 0.90, the aircraft can link Delhi to New York or Mumbai to London.

Gulfstream, meanwhile, has delivered more than 370 G500s and G600s since entering service, and these models have amassed more than 150 city-pair speed records.
