Gulfstream G300 Unveiled; First Test Flight Completed

Gulfstream unveiled the all-new G300 super-midsize jet at its Discover the Difference event in Savannah, positioning it to replace the G280 and join the company’s next-generation family. The G300 features Gulfstream’s Panoramic Oval Windows, the new Harmony Flight Deck with next-generation avionics, the longest cabin in its class for up to 10 passengers, and a transatlantic range of about 3,600 nautical miles. Gulfstream says the program has completed roughly 22,000 hours of design and conceptual testing, the first test flight occurred last month, and two additional test aircraft are being built. Entry into service is expected around 2027 pending certification, and pricing is reported at about $28.9 million to roughly $30 million. Gulfstream displayed a full-scale mock-up and photos of initial production but has not specified whether the G300’s manufacturing will follow the G280’s Israel-built/U.S.-interior completion arrangement.
