The certification testing program for Gulfstream’s ultra-long-range G700 continues to progress with approval anticipated in the third quarter, according to parent company General Dynamics chair and CEO Phebe Novakovic, who gave an update on the large-cabin jet this morning during the company’s first-quarter earnings call.

“We continue to target certification of the G700 for late summer this year,” she said during the conference call, describing the new company flagship as a mature, high-quality aircraft. “Production is well underway and we are preparing for entry into service.”
