In May, the G600 received U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification for steep-approach operations, just months after the G500 obtained it. This authorization allows the fleet to access some of the world’s most challenging airports, giving operators even more convenience and flexibility.
With more than 260 aircraft in service today, the G500 and G600 fleet holds more than 90 city-pair speed records combined.
