Gulfstream G700 has been certified by the Government of India’s Office of the Director General of Civil Aviation, clearing the path for customer deliveries in the country. The G700 follows the Gulfstream G600 and Gulfstream G500 India certifications that were received in the second half of last year. With more than 90 city-pair speed records to date, the G700 can fly 7,750 nautical miles/14,353 kilometers at Mach 0.85 or 6,650 nm/12,316 km at Mach 0.90 and link New Delhi to New York at Mach 0.87 or Mumbai to London at Mach 0.90.  

Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream commented: “We are seeing strong momentum in India as interest in our next-generation aircraft continues to grow. The advanced technology and safety features of our visionary fleet, combined with outstanding range, speed and cabin environment, are major differentiators for customers. The G700 in particular offers a transformative advantage with its globe-spanning range and the most spacious cabin in the industry. We look forward to continued growth of the Gulfstream fleet for customers throughout India and around the world.”

The G700 also offers the most spacious cabin in business aviation, delivering exceptional flexibility and a high degree of customization. The aircraft features the signature Gulfstream Cabin Experience with 100% fresh air, abundant natural light from 20 Gulfstream Panoramic Oval Windows and the industry’s lowest cabin altitudes at the highest elevations. Customers can select from a range of advanced interior options, including high‑speed internet connectivity packages; an ultrahigh‑definition circadian lighting system; an ultragalley with more than 10 feet of counter space; or a grand suite featuring a fixed bed and shower.

The award-winning G500 and G600 — which debuted Gulfstream’s next-generation Symmetry Flight Deck featuring the industry’s first active control sidesticks and most extensive use of touch-screen technology — continue to see exceptional demand and utilization around the world with more than 370 aircraft in service and over 150 city-pair speed records, combined.
