Gulfstream’s G500 and G600 aircraft have both received European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) steep-approach certification, enabling the twinjets and their approved crews to access an extended range of airports.

The additional approvals, announced today, follow equivalent regulatory permissions already in place in the U.S. The G500 received an FAA nod for steep approaches in October 2023, with the regulator awarding similar approval for its larger G600 sibling in May 2024.
