Gulfstream Aerospace Corp has flown its fleet of corporate, demonstration and support aircraft more than three million nautical miles using sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) blends.
The Gulfstream G800, G700, G600 and G400 all flew to this week’s NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition in Las Vegas using SAF blends. These aircraft, along with a mock-up of the newly announced G300, are being displayed at the event.
“Flying more than three million nautical miles on SAF blends is a testament to our commitment to sourcing and demonstrating the benefits of SAF,” says Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream. “We have long been at the forefront of sustainability innovations, and this latest milestone further showcases our leadership and efforts to advance business aviation's overarching sustainability goals.”
Gulfstream continues to maintain a strong supply of SAF at its Savannah, Georgia headquarters and plans to increase its usage by nearly 50% this year.
The company was the first OEM to fly on 100% neat SAF and the first to receive NBAA Sustainable Flight Department Accreditations in all four categories: flight, operations, ground support and infrastructure. Gulfstream also completed the world’s first trans-Atlantic flight using 100% neat SAF in both engines in 2023, and in 2024, conducted emissions testing of 100% neat SAF containing zero sulphur.
