Gulfstream announced the G700 last night, the Savannah, Georgia-based airframer’s new entry into the ultra-long-range aircraft category—a model clearly aimed at Bombardier’s Global 7500. Also announced were two new fleet operators of the G700 that will help keep the assembly lines busy until 2023, the next delivery opportunity. Flexjet will serve as the G700’s launch customer in the U.S., while Qatar Airways serves a similar role overseas.
