Making its first appearance at the Farnborough show, Gulfstream's G600 is joining the G500, the ultra-long-range G650ER, and the super-midsize Gulfstream G280 in Farnborough. Noting that 225 Gulfstreams are based in Europe with the London area marking the highest volume of Gulfstream traffic in the region, the company underscored the importance of the market.

“Our European fleet has grown by more than 15 percent since 2013,” said Gulfstream president Mark Burns. “The region continues to be one of our strongest international markets, as evidenced by the investments we’ve made there, including appointing a dedicated regional senior vice president of sales and planning a new company-owned European service center.” Gulfstream recently announced TAG Farnborough as the location of its company’s newest purpose-built service center in Europe.

In addition to promoting its business jet product line, Gulfstream is eying the special-mission market at Farnborough, highlighting models such as the modified U.S. Navy Telemetry Range Support Aircraft (a G550 variant) and aeromedical evacuation platforms.
