Gulfstream Aerospace's G700 has been certified by the Government of India's Office of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, clearing the path for customer deliveries in the country. The G700 follows the Gulfstream G600 and Gulfstream G500 India certifications that were received in the second half of last year.

“We are seeing strong momentum in India as interest in our next-generation aircraft continues to grow,” says Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream. “The advanced technology and safety features of our visionary fleet, combined with outstanding range, speed and cabin environment, are major differentiators for customers. The G700 in particular offers a transformative advantage with its globe-spanning range and the most spacious cabin in the industry. We look forward to continued growth of the Gulfstream fleet for customers throughout India and around the world.”
