Savannah, Ga., 17 November 2025 — Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. has announced that its recently certified ultralong-range Gulfstream G800 has achieved its eighth city-pair speed record, set during its arrival flight to the Dubai Airshow 2025. The accomplishment further reinforces the aircraft’s performance capabilities across long-range missions.
