Key Takeaways:
Gulfstream's G600 and the upcoming G700 business jets recently set multiple city-pair speed records on long-haul flights between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia.
The G700, slated for delivery next year, completed its longest flight from Houston to Riyadh in 13 hours and 40 minutes, while the G600 also set a record from Washington D.C. to Riyadh.
These record-breaking demonstration flights utilized sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and were declared carbon neutral.
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.
