Gulfstream Aerospace

Bombardier has its mojo back. The company is consistently profitable, with strong demand for its business jets.

Major business aviation manufacturers have a number of new programs under development ranging from a single-engine turboprop to ultra-long-range jets.

Gulfstream Aerospace’s G650 and G650ER business jets have surpassed 1 million flight hr. with more than 560 aircraft in service globally, the company says.

Gulfstream Aerospace’s G700 large business jet has received EASA type certification, following FAA certification on March 29, the company reports.

When viewed in combination with similar accidents, this raises questions of unresolved weaknesses in our safety system.

Gulfstream debuted the two programs in 2021.

Bombardier, Embraer, and Gulfstream have shown new aircraft can be developed at reasonable prices.

Gulfstream Aerospace delivered 24 business jets during the first quarter (Q1) of 2024, including 21 large-cabin and three mid-size cabin aircraft.

The delivery announcement by the company comes less than a month after the aircraft achieved FAA type certification.

With the recent certification of the Gulfstream G700, the time is ripe to look back at the OEM's recent large-cabin bizjet deliveries.

This further paves the way for first customer deliveries and entry into service to commence, the company says.

According to the EBACE website, 182 exhibitors of all sizes are registered for the show.

Certification now paves the way for deliveries to commence.

Reexamining the checklist

Business aviation’s efforts to decarbonize the aerospace ecosystem are considerable, but sector insiders say this too often goes unnoticed.

The FAA’s draft rule on equipping new aircraft with cockpit voice recorders that capture at least 25 hr. of data has stakeholders sharply divided.

While acknowledging they have to improve competitiveness, Daher’s officials insist OEMs must accept price increases.

Major aerostructures supplier Daher is prioritizing Airbus A320 component deliveries to help mitigate supply chain issues that have caused production delays.

Andre Stein, the founder and former Co-CEO of Embraer spinoff Eve Air Mobility, has joined Eviation, the Washington-based startup developing an all-electric nine-passenger airplane called the Alice.

Gulfstream delivered 39 aircraft in the fourth quarter of (Q4) 2023, compared to 38 a year ago.

The number of used business jets for sale last year in January totaled 1,078 aircraft, compared with 1,174 in December, data from Jefferies shows.

Gulfstream intended to receive FAA certification for its G700 ultra-long-range jet in the fourth quarter 2023, but that did not happen.

OEMs in business aviation have strong backlogs but supply chain pain challenges production.

Fleets are set to grow in all sectors except military and year-over-year growth is projected to be highest for the commercial and business aviation aftermarket.

Gulfstream Aerospace continues to eye the end of 2023 for FAA certification of its new G700 ultra-long range business jet, the company said Dec. 20.
