Gulfstream fleet surpasses 3 million nautical miles flown on sustainable aviation fuel
Gulfstream Aerospace fleet of corporate, demonstration and support aircraft has surpassed 3 million nautical miles flown on sustainable aviation fuel blends. In addition, the Gulfstream G800, Gulfstream G700, Gulfstream G600 and Gulfstream G400 flew to this week’s NBAA-BACE 2025 in Las Vegas using SAF blends. Those aircraft and a mock-up of the newly announced Gulfstream G300 will be on display during the exhibition.
Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream commented: “Flying more than 3 million nautical miles on SAF blends is a testament to our commitment to sourcing and demonstrating the benefits of SAF. We have long been at the forefront of sustainability innovations, and this latest milestone further showcases our leadership and efforts to advance business aviation’s overarching sustainability goals.”
Gulfstream continues to maintain a strong supply of SAF at its Savannah headquarters and plans to increase its usage by nearly 50% this year compared to last year.
Gulfstream has long been a sustainability leader in business aviation, achieving numerous accomplishments by partnering with fuel developers and engine manufacturers. The company was the first OEM to fly on 100% neat SAF and was also the first OEM to receive NBAA Sustainable Flight Department Accreditations in all four available categories: flight, operations, ground support and infrastructure. In 2023, Gulfstream made the world's first trans-Atlantic flight using 100% SAF comprised of 100% Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids (neat HEFA) in both engines, and in 2024, successfully completed ground emissions testing of 100% neat SAF containing zero sulfur.
