Following a three-year pandemic-induced hibernation, EBACE is returning to an in-person show with the debuts of two of the latest high-end, large-cabin business jets: the Gulfstream G700 and Dassault Falcon 6X. The ultra-long-range jets are on display—the G700 at Static AD_7 and the 6X at AD_20—for public purview for the first time at any major event.

The G700, Gulfstream’s forthcoming flagship introduced at NBAA-BACE in 2019, is setting new performance and comfort standards. En route to EBACE, the aircraft—S/N 6, registered as N706GD—set its seventh international city-pair speed record: from Gulfstream's headquarters in Savannah, Georgia, to Geneva in 7 hours and 37 minutes—achieving an average speed of Mach 0.90. That flight was conducted using sustainable aviation fuel.
