Key Takeaways:
Gulfstream's G600 and the upcoming G700 business jets recently established multiple new city-pair speed records on flights between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia.
The G700 completed its longest flight yet from Houston to Riyadh, covering 7,172 nautical miles in 13 hours and 40 minutes, ahead of its expected delivery next year.
These record-breaking demonstration flights also utilized sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and were declared carbon neutral through the application of carbon offsets.
The flights showcase the G600's and G700's advanced performance, highlighting their ability to transport customers to destinations faster.
Business jet travel is getting faster, according to Gulfstream, which says its G600 and the forthcoming G700 have set new city-pair speed records between hubs in the U.S. and Saudi Arabia.
The new city-pair records were set late last month and come as the business jet manufacturer is poised to begin delivery of its next-generation G700 aircraft in the coming year.
