Reports: G700 Deliveries Lag in 2Q24
Gulfstream expects to deliver at least 50 G700s this year, but only eight had been handed over by mid-year

Gulfstream Aerospace delivered fewer of its recently certified flagship G700s than anticipated in the second quarter, a slower start for the ultra-long-range model as the Savannah, Georgia manufacturer reportedly works through a last-minute modification. The G700 snagged FAA certification just as the first quarter ended, with EASA approval following at a relatively quick pace in mid-May.

While Gulfstream handed over the first two G700s in April, it had only delivered eight by early July, according to aircraft brokerage Hagerty Jet Group, which added that a handful of those remain in Savannah. “In April, General Dynamics reported that they will hand over 50 or more G700s by the end of the year...which seems a bit optimistic considering that we just turned the corner on the second half of the year,” Hagerty added.
