Gulfstream Marks 100th Delivery of G500/600 Family The Gulfstream G500 and G600 were both announced by Gulfstream at the same time and pretty much were developed at the same time as well. This meant that the programs entered service one after the other without significant overlap time (G500 in September 2018 and G600 in August 2019). Since entry into service of both programs Gulfstream has now announced that they shipped the 100th customer-bound article.
"Gulfstream saw great demand for the all-new G500 and G600 right out of the gate," said Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream. "Once they entered service, interest in these innovative aircraft soared even more as operators experienced the compelling combination of the Symmetry Flight Deck and outstanding cabin comfort. Reaching 100 deliveries at this stage in the program is remarkable and a clear reflection of the advantages the G500 and G600 give our customers." To date, the G500 and G600 have achieved more than 60 speed records and a combined total of more than 25,000 hours and more than 13,000 landings.
