Savannah, GA, January 2026 – Gulfstream Aerospace has announced that its G500 and G600 business jets have received certification for steep approach landings from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), expanding operational access to airports worldwide. The G500 and G600 previously earned Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) steep-approach certification in 2023 and 2024, respectively.

To secure both FAA and EASA approvals, the aircraft demonstrated advanced steep-approach capabilities, including low-speed handling and short-field landings, at London City Airport in England and Lugano Airport in Switzerland.

“Our customers already benefit from the groundbreaking performance and efficiency of the G500 and G600,” said Mark Burns, president of Gulfstream. “With EASA steep-approach certification now achieved, we are proud to offer European operators even greater fleet flexibility by providing access to more remote airports and destinations around the world.”

Currently, more than 350 G500 and G600 jets are in service globally. Collectively, the fleet has accumulated over 350,000 flight hours, 173,000 landings, and more than 120 city-pair speed records, underscoring the aircraft’s reliability and performance across diverse operating environments.

Gulfstream, a pioneer in purpose-built business aircraft since the first flight of the Gulfstream I in 1958, continues to expand its next-generation family, including the G300, G400, G500, G600, G700 and G800, all supported by a worldwide customer service network.
