Gulfstream Aerospace delivered the 200th G600 to a customer, the Savannah, Georgia aircraft manufacturer announced today. Handed over to an unnamed customer in North America, the milestone aircraft was outfitted at Gulfstream’s facility in St. Louis.
The delivery took place nearly seven years after the ultra-long-range business jet entered service. To date, the G600 fleet has logged more than 197,000 flight hours and completed 87,000 landings, picking up 95 city-pair speed records along the way.
Earlier this year, the aircraft surpassed a more-than-decade-long record flying from Aspen, Colorado, to the UK’s London City Airport in 7 hours 42 minutes at an average speed of Mach 0.91. In January, the aircraft, along with its G500 sibling, had received EASA certification for steep-approach landing, clearing the way for operations at airports such as London City.
“Interest in the G600 remains incredibly strong worldwide as customers continue to be impressed with its remarkable capabilities,” said Gulfstream president Mark Burns. “Reaching the 200th delivery reflects the program’s continued momentum while reinforcing the aircraft’s proven maturity and reliability.”
Capable of accommodating up to four living areas and seating 19 passengers, the aircraft can fly 6,600 nm at Mach 0.85 or 5,600 nm at Mach 0.90. The G600’s Mmo is Mach 0.925.
