SAVANNAH, Ga., July 16, 2022 — The all-new ultra-long-range Gulfstream G800 made its international debut just weeks after the aircraft's first flight, according to Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. The G800 departed Savannah and traveled to Gulfstream Customer Support's Farnborough, England, facility in support of Gulfstream's display at the Farnborough International Airshow. 

“To take the G800 on this trans-Atlantic trip so close to first flight is extraordinary,” said Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream. “Thanks to our strategic planning and the investments Gulfstream has made in our new aircraft programs, we are able to fly the G800 with remarkable efficiency and bring the aircraft directly to customers early in the flight test program, as we have in Farnborough. The Gulfstream Farnborough Service Center is one of our newest and most modern, and it’s fitting that the G800 has made its international debut here.”

The Gulfstream Farnborough Service Center, which opened in summer 2020 and currently employs more than 200 people, has received 30 foreign regulatory approvals after just a few months in operation. The facility, which measures 225,000 square feet/20,903 square meters accommodates up to 13 of Gulfstream's larger planes.

The G800 is the world's longest-range business aircraft, able to fly 8,000 nautical miles/14,816 kilometers at Mach 0.85 and 7,000 nautical miles/12,964 kilometers at Mach 0.90 and uses Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck with active-control sidesticks.

The G800's cabin can accommodate up to 19 passengers with 10 sleeping areas, making it ideal for groups of friends or family. The G800 offers fresh, never recirculated air, a plasma ionization purification system, and the industry's lowest cabin altitude.
