Key Takeaways:
Gulfstream's G600 and the forthcoming G700 business jets have set multiple new city-pair speed records, specifically on long-haul routes between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia.
The G700 completed its longest flight to date, traveling 7,172 nautical miles from Houston to Riyadh in 13 hours and 40 minutes at Mach 0.87.
These record-setting flights for both the G600 and G700 utilized sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and were declared carbon neutral through carbon offsets.
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.
