SAVANNAH, Ga., April 8, 2024 — In a landmark achievement, Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. proudly announced today that its flagship G700 jet has clinched additional Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certifications, marking a significant milestone following its FAA type certification on March 29. These new certifications, encompassing production and interior supplemental type clearances, pave the way for the G700’s customer deliveries and its grand debut in the skies.
The latest accolades from the FAA validate the G700’s interior design and its state-of-the-art cabin air purification system, ensuring passengers not only travel in unparalleled luxury but also breathe the cleanest air. The production certification underscores Gulfstream’s adherence to stringent federal aviation guidelines across its manufacturing processes. Achieved through a rigorous audit of its engineering, supply chain, and quality control systems, this certification affirms that each G700 will be produced to the highest standards, matching the FAA-approved design specifications to the letter.
Mark Burns, President of Gulfstream, expressed his pride in the rapid acquisition of these certifications, stating, “Receiving these additional clearances so quickly after the FAA type certification highlights the G700 program’s advanced stage. Our investments in cutting-edge manufacturing and interior design innovations mean our operators will enjoy unmatched quality, and superior fit and finish. We are excited for our customers to experience the exceptional cabin comfort and performance that the G700 offers.”
Boasting the most spacious cabin in the business aviation sector, the G700 sets new standards with the Gulfstream Cabin Experience. This includes a cabin air purification system that ensures 100% fresh air, the lowest cabin altitude in its class for enhanced passenger comfort, near-silent sound levels for a tranquil journey, and 20 oversized windows flooding the interior with natural light.
Manufactured at Gulfstream’s headquarters in Savannah, alongside its other ultra-large and large-cabin aircraft, the G700 benefits from the latest production methodologies. These have been developed in concert with the company’s Savannah-based research and development team and incorporate cutting-edge automation, 3D modeling, and advanced bonding techniques, ensuring each aircraft meets Gulfstream’s rigorous quality and precision standards.
