Gulfstream’s all-new G700 set a new city pair speed record in early November during a trip to Vietnam, where it made its debut in the Asia-Pacific market. The 19-seat aircraft joined a Gulfstream G600 and G650ER at the Van Don International Airport in the Quang Ninh province for an exclusive event hosted by Hanoi-based business aviation service company Sun Air LLC. The jet completed a 4,573-nautical-mile (8,469-kilometre) trek to the airport from Istanbul in 9 hours and 2 minutes at an average speed of Mach 0.90.
Continued Demand & Fleet Growth
Gulfstream provides enhanced services for Vietnam and the region via its Gulfstream Customer Support service and Gulfstream FAST (Field and Airborne Support Teams) program, which provides quick, coordinated response for aircraft-on-ground situations.
“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,” says Mark Burns, Gulfstream president. “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.”
The G700
Gulfstream announced in October it was sending two fully outfitted production G700 flight test aircraft on a world tour to let customers experience the jet in person. The jet is to enter service this year. Since its introduction in October 2019, it has established numerous international city pair speeds records and won 2020 and 2022 International Yacht & Aviation Awards for its Classic Seat and cabin design, respectively. The cabin is available with up to five living areas, and is the industry’s most spacious, Gulfstream says. The G700 is powered by two all-new Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines, and has a 7,500-nm (13,890-km) flight range, a maximum speed of Mach 0.925, a high-speed cruise speed of Mach 0.90, and a long-range cruise speed of Mach 0.85.
