End of an Era as the Last G650 Rolls Off Production Line

The model that redefined the ultra-long-range (ULR) business jet segment—the G650/650ER—is now out of production, Gulfstream Aerospace announced today. Earlier this month, the final one—a G650ER model—rolled off the production line at the company’s Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport campus in Georgia and will next be flown to Gulfstream’s Appleton, Wisconsin facility for completion before being delivered to a customer later this year.

Gulfstream announced the G650 program in March 2008, unveiled the first prototype (dubbed T1) in September 2009, and flew T1 two months later. On Sept. 7, 2012, the G650 obtained FAA certification, and the first delivery on Dec. 27, 2012. Until today’s announcement, the G650 and its longer-legged (7,700 nm) G650ER sibling introduced in 2014 have been in continuous production since then. They will be succeeded by the G800, which borrows the G650/650ER’s fuselage and is poised to enter service later this year.
