Gulfstream G800 First Delivery

The first customer delivery of the Gulfstream G800, known for its impressive range of 8,200 nautical miles at Mach 0.85, took place after thorough outfitting at the Appleton completions center.

Mark Burns, president of Gulfstream, expressed enthusiasm regarding the aircraft’s reception and praised the team’s expertise, noting similarities to the G700 in terms of program execution. This delivery represents a significant step forward for Gulfstream’s next-generation fleet.

Recognized with the 2025 International Yacht & Aviation Award for Private Jet Design, the G800 features a cabin altitude of just 2,840 feet while cruising at 41,000 feet.
