Gulfstream Aerospace announced the final Gulfstream G650 has officially completed production. This aircraft will move to the next phase of the completions process before making its official delivery to a customer later this year.

“Since their inception, the G650 and G650ER have become the industry standard that all others have followed, recently surpassing a staggering 1 million flight hours,” said Mark Burns, President, Gulfstream. “Beyond the programme’s innumerable accolades and 125+ world speed records, innovations introduced with the form, fit and precision manufacturing process of the G650 laid the groundwork for today’s next-generation Gulfstream fleet.”

Gulfstream was awarded the prestigious Robert J. Collier Trophy in 2014 for the development of the G650 business jet family, which ushered in a new era of performance, safety and efficiency advancements in business aviation. The aircraft family has achieved numerous record-breaking feats, such as a 2015 world circumnavigation accomplished with just one stop; completing the farthest fastest business jet flight in history when the G650ER flew from Singapore to Tucson, Arizona, in 2019; as well as serving as the aircraft of choice in the 2019 “One More Orbit” mission, recognised by the Guinness World Records for achieving the fastest-ever circumnavigation of Earth around both the north and south poles. The all-new, ultralong-range Gulfstream G800 was designed to succeed the iconic G650 family, delivering increased performance, efficiency and cabin comfort.
