The G700 Private Jet
The G700, first unveiled in October 2019, is Gulfstream's next-generation business jet. It comes with a price tag of $79.9 million and is 10 ft longer than its predecessor, the G650ER. The aircraft has a maximum take-off weight of 4,000 lb and can fly up to 7,750 NM. Its maximum operating speed is Mach 0.925 (710 mph), making it the fastest of all Gulfstream's business jets. The G700 can accommodate up to 19 seated passengers, or ten in a sleeping arrangement. Notable owners of Gulfstream's flagship business jet include Elon Musk and Qatar Airways Executive, which plans to offer VIP services using the G700.
The G500 Private Jet
Alongside the G700, Gulfstream will also be showcasing the G500 aircraft. The first G500 was delivered in September 2018, and there are over 90 G500s currently in service around the world. Priced at around $50 million, the G500 can fly up to 4,500 NM at speeds of up to Mach 0.90 (690 mph). It has also recently been certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for an approach, giving it access to an even greater variety of destinations worldwide.
Gulfstream's Presence in the Middle East
"Gulfstream has a longstanding history in the Middle East and surrounding regions," said Scott Neal, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales at Gulfstream. "Recently, we announced a host of increased capabilities across the fleet, and we look forward to meeting with customers and guests at the Dubai Airshow to showcase The Gulfstream Difference with two of these aircraft, firsthand." The Dubai Airshow promises to be an exciting event for aviation enthusiasts and industry professionals alike. With Gulfstream's latest offerings on display, attendees will have a chance to witness firsthand the advancements in private jet technology.
