Including corporate pilots and instructors, roughly 200 individuals have been typed on the G700, a number expected to grow with increasing deliveries.
The G700 features an advanced "Symmetry Flight Deck" with touchscreen technology and a Combined Vision System, designed to reduce pilot workload and enhance situational awareness.
The aircraft has achieved global certification, including from the FAA, EASA, and type certificate validations in nine other countries.
