Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. has announced two major milestones for its next-generation G800: the aircraft has achieved the Gulfstream fleet’s 800th city-pair speed record and subsequently completed the farthest fastest flight in business aviation history.
The G800 secured the 800th city-pair speed record earlier in June with a flight from Reykjavik, Iceland, to Savannah. The aircraft covered 2,973 nautical miles (5,505 kilometres) in 5 hours and 52 minutes at an average cruise speed of Mach 0.91.
On June 28, the G800 completed a separate record-setting flight from Melbourne, Australia, to Moline, Illinois. The flight covered 8,303 nautical miles (15,377 kilometres) in 16 hours and 56 minutes at an average cruise speed of Mach 0.85.
Mark Burns, President of Gulfstream, said the company continues to advance aircraft performance with each new aircraft. He added that achieving the 800th city-pair speed record and completing the farthest fastest flight in the industry’s history demonstrate the capabilities of Gulfstream’s next-generation fleet and the G800.
Gulfstream aircraft have now achieved 815 speed records across the fleet, including 15 records set by the G800 since entering service in August 2025.
