Gulfstream G300 And G400 Make European Debut In Farnborough

Aircraft Performance Capabilities Drawing Strong Customer Interest in the Region

 

Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. today marked the European debut of the Gulfstream G300 and Gulfstream G400, bringing two of the company’s newest next-generation aircraft to customers and industry leaders at its exclusive Discover the Difference event in Farnborough, England.

The event features a full-scale mock-up of the G300 alongside one of the three G400 flight test aircraft, giving customers an immersive, firsthand look at the advanced performance, comfort and innovation defining Gulfstream’s fleet.

“Demand in Europe for Gulfstream’s next-generation aircraft continues to accelerate,” said Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream. “The G300 and G400 deliver unmatched performance, efficiency and cabin innovation, capabilities that are ideally suited to operators in the region. We are excited to bring these aircraft to Europe and showcase what truly sets them apart.”

Introduced in September 2025, the super-midsize G300 is the latest addition to Gulfstream’s visionary fleet. The aircraft entered its rigorous flight test program less than three months after launch. The G300 combines class-leading range at the highest speeds, short-field agility and exceptional airfield capability, unlocking new routes and expanding access to challenging airports. The aircraft can fly 3,600 nautical miles/6,667 kilometers at Mach 0.80 or 3,000 nm/5,556 km at Mach 0.84 and features impressive fuel-efficiency thanks to its combination of the clean, swept Gulfstream wing and Honeywell HTF7250G engines. Featuring the longest cabin in its class, the G300 accommodates up to 10 passengers in two living areas.

With its breakthrough combination of range, speed and efficiency, the G400 flies farther faster than any other aircraft in its class. En route to Farnborough from Washington, D.C., the G400 set its first city-pair speed record, making the 3,250-nm/6,019-km flight in 6 hours and 12 minutes at an average speed of Mach 0.87, doing so on sustainable aviation fuel. Powered by advanced Pratt & Whitney PW812GA engines and Gulfstream’s aerodynamic clean-wing design, the G400 delivers optimal field performance and environmental efficiency with reduced fuel consumption, emissions and noise. In the cabin, customers can choose from three floorplans, offering seating for up to nine, 11 or 12 passengers.

Both the G300 and G400 provide exceptional comfort with 100% fresh, never recirculated air purified by a plasma ionization clean air system, low cabin altitudes and natural light from 10 Gulfstream Panoramic Oval Windows.

 

 

 

New Super-Midsize Gulfstream G300 Takes Flight

Milestone Officially Launches Flight Test Program, Demonstrates Significant Program Maturity

Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. today announced the new Gulfstream G300 has made its first flight, demonstrating significant program maturity and officially launching its rigorous flight test program. Introduced on Sept. 30 in Savannah as the latest addition to Gulfstream’s visionary fleet, the G300 represents a new standard in its segment and is poised to redefine the super-midsize category.

The first G300 took off from Ben Gurion International Airport at 8:05 a.m. local time and flew for 2 hours and 25 minutes at a speed of Mach 0.75 and an altitude of 30,000 feet/9,144 meters.

“With its combination of safety, technology, performance and cabin comfort, the G300 is a game changer for the super-midsize category,” said Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream. “This latest investment, designed to exceed our customers’ expectations for large-cabin features in a mid-cabin aircraft, brings another new category leader to our next-generation fleet. With the addition of the G300, Gulfstream truly offers an aircraft for every mission. Achieving first flight at this stage in the program is a remarkable achievement.”

The G300 features the largest interior in the super-midsize segment. Natural light from 10 Gulfstream Panoramic Oval Windows enhances the spacious cabin, which can seat up to 10 passengers and includes two living areas, a generously appointed galley and ample room for baggage. The G300 also features the lowest cabin altitude in its class at 4,800 ft/1,463 m when flying at 41,000 ft/12,497 m, along with 100% fresh air, a standard plasma air ionization system and whisper-quiet sound levels.

The G300 boasts class-leading range at the highest speeds with the ability to fly 3,600 nautical miles/6,667 kilometers at Mach 0.80 or 3,000 nm/5,556 km at Mach 0.84. In addition, the aircraft also features impressive fuel-efficiency thanks to its combination of the clean, swept Gulfstream wing and Honeywell HTF7250G engines.

With next-generation technology, the G300 Harmony Flight Deck greatly enhances safety with six touch screens paired with Phase-of-Flight intelligence, a Synthetic Vision-Primary Flight Display that depicts runways and terrain in 3D imagery, and Gulfstream’s award-winning Predictive Landing Performance System.

Prior to first flight, the G300 program completed more than 2,000 ground test hours and includes two additional test aircraft already in production.
