Gulfstream's clean-sheet G500 has received EASA certification, clearing the way for European Union registrations and customer deliveries.

“The G500 has been very well received in Europe,” says president Mark Burns. “Customers in the region have been drawn to the technology and innovation in the flight deck and the impact that has on safety and efficiency. In the cabin, they can see the effect technology has on the passenger experience with a rejuvenating environment, advanced ergonomics, award-winning seats and unmatched comfort.”

Well before the G500 entered service in September 2018, the aircraft had already proven its capabilities with a score of city-pair speed records set across the world. That number has since risen to 35 and includes Seville, Spain, to Abu Dhabi in five hours and 45 minutes; Geneva to Chicago in eight hours; Doha, Qatar, to Shannon, Ireland, in just over seven hours and 30 minutes; and Farnborough, England, to Las Vegas in 10 hours and 20 minutes.

The G500 can travel 4,400 nm at Mach 0.90 and 5,200 nm at Mach 0.85. The seat collection available on the G500 was chosen for an International Yacht & Aviation Award for its advanced ergonomics and aesthetics that can be tailored to customers' design preferences and mission requirements. In addition, the G500 cabin features customised furnishings, a healthy cabin environment and 14 panoramic oval windows.
