Gulfstream Aerospace has marked a major aviation milestone, achieving its 700th speed record with the ultra-long-range G700 business jet. The landmark flight, completed on a regular trip from Taipei to Miami, covered over 8,500 nautical miles in just 14 hours and 38 minutes at an average cruising speed of Mach 0.87.

This record isn’t just a number, it’s evidence of the real-world performance of Gulfstream’s flagship aircraft. With this flight, the G700 demonstrates that it’s not only fast but consistently delivers unmatched efficiency and reliability for global business travellers.

The achievement also arrives on a symbolic anniversary: 50 years after Gulfstream’s first city-pair record in 1975, when the GII connected St. John’s, Antigua, to Dakar, Senegal. Now, half a century later, Gulfstream stands at the pinnacle of business jet innovation, bolstered by verified speed and long-haul performance.

Unlike staged record attempts, this milestone was achieved under everyday flight conditions. “These records prove that our aircraft outperform in the real world,” said Gulfstream President Mark Burns. “The G700 empowers customers to travel farther, faster, and with more comfort than any other jet available today.”

Each of Gulfstream’s 700 records has been certified by the U.S. National Aeronautic Association (NAA). The G700 joins a legacy built by its predecessors, the G650 and G650ER, which together hold more than 130 speed records.

Powered by advanced Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines and an aerodynamically efficient design, the G700 pairs technology and luxury. It features four expansive cabin zones, air purification systems, and jet lag-reducing lighting—all optimised to deliver a first-class experience over long distances.

The cockpit is equally advanced, featuring Gulfstream’s Combined Vision System (CVS) and predictive landing tech that improves pilot visibility and safety. While the records focus on speed and distance, the G700’s luxury and comfort also play a key role in setting a new standard in business aviation.

With Gulfstream preparing to launch its G800 later this year and Bombardier pushing the envelope with the Global 8000, the battle for city-pair supremacy is only just heating up. One title remains contested; the longest business jet flight in history. Gulfstream claims it with the G650ER’s 8,379-nautical-mile trip from Singapore to Tucson, while Bombardier says its Sydney to Detroit flight tops them all. The final word may lie with the NAA.
