G500/G600 programme sees 300th delivery
The rapid delivery of 300 aircraft is a clear indication of strong interest in the Gulfstream G500 and G600 around the world.
Manufacturing efficiencies have enabled Gulfstream to expand its production line, supporting the success of the next-gen fleet well into the future.

Gulfstream Aerospace has made the 300th customer delivery in the Gulfstream G500 and G600 fleet, a signal of continued worldwide demand.

Both award-winning aircraft feature the Gulfstream Symmetry flight deck, with safety-enhancing technology including the industry's first active control sidesticks and most extensive use of touch-screen technology, along with Phase-of-Flight intelligence. These aircraft were purposefully designed to increase manufacturing efficiencies by establishing commonalities throughout Gulfstream’s next-generation fleet, advances which led to incorporating the same award-winning flight deck on the Gulfstream G700, Gulfstream G800 and Gulfstream G400.

“Delivering 300 aircraft is a clear indication of strong interest in the G500 and G600 around the world,” says president Mark Burns. “Thanks to investments from our parent company, General Dynamics, these aircraft continue to achieve new milestones as customer demand remains steadfast. The advanced efficiencies established by this programme have provided us with the flexibility to expand our production line, supporting the success of our next-generation fleet well into the future.”

In June, the G500 and G600 each surpassed 100,000 flight hours, a reflection of strong customer demand. Also within the past year, both aircraft have received FAA certification for steep-approach operations.
