Gulfstream Aerospace will display its G700 flagship at the Middle East and North Africa Business Aviation Association's upcoming MEBAA trade show, to be held December 10 to 12 in Dubai.&nbsp;While marking a return to the event, the G700 will arrive this time as a fully certified aircraft. Having achieved U.S. certification in late March, the aircraft also has received validation from nine other countries, as well as EASA.
“The G700 continues to exceed customer expectations since entering service in April,” said Scott Neal, senior v-p of worldwide sales for Gulfstream. So far in the Gulf region, it has achieved type certification in Qatar, where Qatar Executive operates four of the type with another six due to be delivered.
Gulfstream believes the aircraft is well suited for the Middle East market, which tends to favor larger, longer-range models. The Gulfstream fleet in the region's market has topped 120 aircraft, representing 40% growth over the past decade.&nbsp;
With a maximum range of 7,750 nm and maximum speed of Mach 0.935, the G700 is Gulfstream’s longest-range and fastest model currently on the market, having already racked up more than 65 city-pair speed records. Able to connect Dubai to New York, the G700 can accommodate up to five living areas, seat up to 19 passengers, and sleep up to 13.
The MEBAA display follows Gulfstream's showing of the G700 earlier this month at the Bahrain International Airshow. The company will also show off an example of the G500 model.
