Launch Customer Takes First Gulfstream G600 Right off gaining Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification for the G600, Gulfstream has delivered the first unit to the launch customer. The unidentified launch customer took delivery of the landmark aircraft just one month after Gulfstream received certification for the type. The only aspect about the first delivery's launch customer is that it is a U.S-based company. Below is a photo of the first customer-bound unit.
"We always strive to exceed our customers’ expectations, and our first G600 delivery is a prime example of that," said Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream. "The effort put forth by our team enabled this award-winning, technologically advanced aircraft to move from certified to delivered in an extremely short period of time. We are very proud of everyone who had a part in making this happen and keeping our promise to customers, as is a Gulfstream tradition, of a 2019 entry into service". The flight test articles compiled approximately 3,200 flight test hours in the air to make this first customer delivery possible.
