Gulfstream Aerospace delivered two more G700s to Qatar Executive, bringing the total of the ultra-long-range aircraft in its fleet to six. Qatar Executive, the first carrier to offer Gulfstream’s new flagship for air charter, received its first two copies in May and still anticipates taking delivery of four more. The Savannah, Georgia business jet manufacturer delivered the two latest aircraft to Qatar Executive last month using a sustainable aviation fuel blend, the company reported.
“The unprecedented speed with which the team has been able to deliver this remarkable aircraft is a true testament to the quality and maturity of the G700 program,” said Gulfstream president Mark Burns. “Qatar Executive has been a long-standing, valued partner of Gulfstream for many years, and we are pleased to continue that partnership by adding more of these exceptional aircraft to their growing fleet.”
In addition to the G700s, Qatar Executive’s fleet counts 15 Gulfstream G650ERs. Based on the G650, the G700 is 10 feet longer with 20 panoramic oval windows, has a maximum range of 7,750 nm at Mach 0.85, and can fly at speeds up to Mach 0.935, making it the largest and fastest model in the Gulfstream fleet.
While relatively new on the market, the twinjet has already set more than 65 city-pair speed records and has received approvals from the FAA, EASA, and 10 other national aviation agencies.
