Gulfstream's G600 will make its Australian debut at the Australian International Airshow and Aerospace and Defence Exposition from February 26 to March 3 in Geelong, Victoria. Joining the G600 on static display will be the G550 and G650ER.

“The Asia Pacific region continues to be one of our strongest international markets, demonstrated by tremendous regional fleet growth in the past decade,” says president Mark Burns. “We are particularly excited for people to see the G600. We have already been showcasing the aircraft around the world, and customer feedback and interest for this all-new aircraft have been extremely positive. Our Australian static display represents best-in-class aircraft that provide the range, speed and payload capacity necessary for customers to operate with ease in the region.”

More than 335 Gulfstream aircraft are in service in the Asia Pacific region, of which over 290 are large-cabin.

The G600 can fly 5,500 nm at its high-speed cruise of Mach 0.90. It can accommodate up to 19 passengers across three living areas, as well as having a crew rest zone. The jet has 14 Gulfstream panoramic oval windows, 100 per cent fresh air circulating in the cabin, a low cabin altitude and the option to install a shower. In the cockpit, the G600 is equipped with the Symmetry flight deck.
