Gulfstream debuts 'G250' Super Mid-size jet at NBAA in Atlanta​

Gulfstream’s new G250 super mid-size jet accomplished its first trans-Atlantic crossing on Oct. 15 en route to the 63rd Annual National Business Aviation Association Meeting and Convention in Atlanta. The aircraft flew 6,192 nautical miles squawk-free in three legs over 14 hours and 31 minutes.

"Customers are going to be very happy with the performance of this airplane," said Ronen Shapira, chief of flight test for Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), who co-captained the aircraft with Capt. Raphael Palter. Also participating in the flight were pilot Dov Davidor and technicians Uzi Mizrahi and Amir Levi.

"This first trans-Atlantic crossing for the G250 was a terrific demonstration of the aircraft’s performance and the fact that it is meeting all of the objectives we set for it," said Mark Kohler, director, G250 program, Gulfstream. "For an aircraft with just over 65 flight hours, the fact that the three legs were squawk-free was especially pleasing to us."

"We’re now able to show the industry the best plane in the mid-size segment," said Larry Flynn, senior vice president, Marketing and Sales, Gulfstream. "It’s an incredible opportunity for our operators and customers to see this aircraft up close and side-by-side with the other aircraft in the Gulfstream fleet. With its swept wing and T tail, the G250 is signature Gulfstream, especially in terms of its performance and look."
