Gulfstream Delivers First G800, Launching Entry Into Service for Longest-Range Business Jet

The dual-certified jet begins replacing the retired G650 with Gulfstream targeting about 13 deliveries in 2025.

Overview

  • Gulfstream confirmed the handover on August 27 to an undisclosed customer after completion at its Appleton, Wisconsin facility.
  • FAA and EASA type certifications were issued on April 16, enabling immediate global entry into service.
  • In July, General Dynamics said the first handover would occur in the third quarter, guidance met by this delivery.
  • Early build slots are allocated to current G650 owners after Gulfstream ended G650 production earlier in 2025.
  • Performance highlights include 8,200 nm at Mach 0.85, a top speed of Mach 0.935, and a cabin with low altitude, fresh-air purification, and 16 panoramic windows.
