The Gulfstream G600 made its Latin American debut at LABACE 2018, arriving just before the show opened August 14 at São Paulo Congonhas Airport. At LABACE, the G600 is on static display alongside a super-midsize G280 and the company’s flagship ultra-long-range G650ER. FAA certification of the fly-by-wire G600 is expected by year-end.
