Gulfstream Gets First European Customer for Luxury G400

Gulfstream Aerospace has announced that first Gulfstream G400 intended for dedicated charter operations has been purchased by German-based DC Aviation Group. The sale was announced during a signing ceremony at Gulfstream’s Customer Support facility in Farnborough, England.

The all-new G400 made its first flight on August 15, officially launching the aircraft’s flight test program, and boasts class-leading performance and efficiency thanks to the combination of Gulfstream’s aerodynamic clean-wing design and advanced Pratt & Whitney Canada PW812GA engines.

The aircraft also features Gulfstream’s next-generation avionics and technology, including the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck with the industry’s first active control sidesticks, most extensive use of touch-screen technology and the award-winning Predictive Landing Performance System.

The G400 can connect important business hubs like Munich to Mumbai; Zurich to New York; or Geneva to Dubai; among other nonstop flights, all at speeds faster than any aircraft in its market segment.

In the cabin, G400 customers will benefit from the Gulfstream Cabin Experience with 100% fresh, never recirculated air; a plasma ionization clean air system; the lowest cabin altitude in its class; and abundant natural light from 10 Gulfstream Panoramic Oval Windows. With a choice of three floorplan options with seating for up to nine, 11 or 12 passengers, the G400 offers a spacious and flexible interior.
