  • The G700 demonstrated impressive speed (up to Mach 0.90) and long-range capabilities, with the flight to Doha using a sustainable aviation fuel blend and both flights receiving carbon offsets.
  • These record-setting flights served to showcase the G700's performance, advanced cabin features, and Gulfstream's commitment to sustainability to customers in the Middle East and Europe.
