Gulfstream Benefits from Delays at Competitors
Some customers are placing orders for the Gulfstream G500, G600 or G650 because they canceled contracts for the delayed Falcon 5X or Global 7000/8000.

Gulfstream’s G500 and G600 are on track for certification next year and in 2018, respectively, the company reiterated today at the Singapore Airshow. As these programs remain on schedule, Gulfstream is benefiting from setbacks in Dassault’s and Bombardier’s large-cabin business jet programs, according to Gulfstream senior vice president for worldwide sales and marketing Scott Neal. Some customers came to the Savannah, Ga.-based airframer to place orders for the G500, G600 or G650/650ER because they had canceled contracts for the delayed Dassault Falcon 5X or Bombardier Global 7000/8000, he said in Singapore.
