A new FAST operations manager has been added in Farnborough, marking the first time the role has been positioned outside of the US. This addition was made to focus on G700 entry into service support in Europe.

Mark Bates's 40 years of customer knowledge and industry experience will enhance Gulfstream's Farnborough customer commitment, ensuring resources are where they are needed, when they are needed.

The G800 has made a trans-Atlantic trip shortly after its first flight. Gulfstream has pulled out all the stops to bring the aircraft directly to customers early in the flight test programme.
