US executive jet manufacturer Gulfstream Aerospace announced on August 27, 2025, that it has delivered the first unit of its new G800 executive jet.
The jet was delivered to an undisclosed customer after being outfitted at Gulfstream’s completion center in Appleton, Wisconsin.
The G800 is the latest model to join Gulfstream’s family of executive jets. This state-of-the-art model obtained its type certificate from both the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) on April 16, 2025.
Designed to carry up to 19 passengers, the G800 is an evolution of a family of aircraft that includes the G650, G650ER, which the G800 is set to replace (production of the G650 ceased in February 2025), and the G700, which was certified in 2024.
The G800 is not only Gulfstream’s most modern aircraft, but it also boasts some impressive performance metrics. It is the longest range of any purpose-built business jet in the world and is capable of flying 8,200 nautical miles (15,186 kilometers) nonstop at a cruise speed of Mach 0.85 (this range drops to 7,000 nm (12,964 km) if the cruise speed increases to Mach 0.90). It is also capable of reaching a top operating speed of Mach 0.935.

The G800 uses the existing G650 airframe, Gulfstream should extend the G700 range ( G700ER ?)
Bombardier Global 8000 has the edge…bigger cabin with similar performance and systems enhancements

Excellent feet. Looking forward to the adoption of G800 into my fleet – Presidential Airfleet of Nigeria.
