Gulfstream Aerospace has announced the first sale of its new G400 to German-based DC Aviation for charter operations.

The announcement was made Thursday during a signing ceremony at Gulfstream’s customer support facility in Farnborough, England.

“We appreciate DC Aviation’s commitment to and confidence in the G400, bringing this category-leading aircraft to European charter customers,” said Scott Neal, Gulfstream’s senior vice president of worldwide sales. “The compelling combination of speed, efficiency, and cabin size of the G400 fills a much-needed void in its category. We are seeing strong demand for this aircraft in Europe and around the world.”

The G400 made its debut flight on August 15, reaching a speed of Mach 0.85 and altitude of 41,000 feet. The aircraft boasts advanced technology, including Gulfstream’s Symmetry Flight Deck and Pratt & Whitney Canada PW812GA engines, promising superior performance and efficiency.

The G400 has an impressive projected range of 4,200 nm and features a 100 percent fresh air system and low cabin altitude pressurization. The aircraft is priced at $34.5 million.
