Gulfstream G700 made its Asia-Pacific debut in Vietnam as the first stop in Asia on the G700 world tour. The G700 joined the Gulfstream G600 and Gulfstream G650ER at an exclusive event at Van Don International Airport in Quang Ninh Province, hosted by Sun Air LLC, the Hanoi-based business aviation service company and Gulfstream’s authorized international sales representative in Vietnam. En route to Vietnam the G700 set a new city-pair speed record, traveling from Istanbul to Van Don airport, 4,573 nautical miles/8,469 kilometers in 9 hours and 2 minutes at an average speed of Mach 0.90.

Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream, commented: “We are honored to bring the G700 and G600 to Van Don airport and join with our international sales representative Sun Air and their G650ER to showcase the industry leading performance and technology Gulfstream offers. Vietnam and Southeast Asia are strong developing markets for Gulfstream. As we see continued demand and fleet growth in the region, we are also bolstering resources to support customers there, including field service coverage from Gulfstream Customer Support and the Gulfstream FAST Field and Airborne Support Teams.”
