Gulfstream G500, G600 Fleet Tops 400 Worldwide Deliveries

With the completion of a G600 at the company’s St. Louis facility for a customer in Asia-Pacific, Gulfstream’s combined G500 and G600 fleet has surpassed 400 customer deliveries, the Savannah, Georgia-based jet maker said today.

The G500 and G600 were certified by the FAA in 2018 and 2019, respectively, and both twinjets received EASA approval for steep approaches last year, expanding access to airports including London City (EGLC), which has a 5.5-degree glideslope. Notably, the G500 and G600 also introduced the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck, and feature a Mach 0.925 Mmo.

“Reaching 400 deliveries is a testament to the confidence customers around the world continue to place in Gulfstream and in the G500 and G600,” said Gulfstream president Mark Burns. “Together, these aircraft have fueled sustained demand for our next-generation fleet and play a pivotal role in Gulfstream’s vision to offer an aircraft for every mission.”

Since entering service, the G500 and G600 fleet has logged more than 519,000 flight hours and 200,000 landings. The program has set more than 190 city-pair speed records, contributing to Gulfstream’s overall total of 815 records. A recent G600 flight from Sapporo, Japan, to Savannah covered 5,835 nm in 11 hours 38 minutes at an average cruise speed of Mach 0.88.
