Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. held a celebration Monday at its Manhattan Sales and Design Center to mark a slew of record-setting flights logged in its new flagship, the G700.
The flights were part of a recent world tour that, according to company CEO Mark Burns, was designed to showcase the aircraft’s capabilities to potential customers while also testing its day-to-day flexibility, reliability and ease of use from the pilot and customer points of view. While Burns declined to reveal details about orders and backlog, he did say the world tour boosted already strong demand for the new airplane, which is in the process of FAA certification.
