Gulfstream has secured EASA certification for steep-approach landing for its G500 and G600 jets, enabling operations at a wider range of airports worldwide.

“Our customers already benefit from the groundbreaking performance and efficiency of the G500 and G600,” says Gulfstream president Mark Burns. “With EASA steep-approach certification now achieved, we’re proud to offer European operators even greater fleet flexibility by giving them access to more remote airports and destinations around the world.”

The G500 and G600 previously received FAA steep-approach certification in 2023 and 2024, respectively. To achieve FAA and EASA approvals, both aircraft successfully demonstrated steep-approach capabilities with low-speed handling and short-field landings at London City airport in the UK and Lugano airport in Switzerland.

There are now more than 350 G500 and G600 aircraft in service globally. The fleet has amassed a combined total of more than 350,000 flight hours, 173,000 landings and more than 120 city-pair speed records.
