On February 12, 2025, Gulfstream Aerospace celebrated the end of an era in private jet history as the final G650 ultra-long-range jet rolled off the production line in Savannah.
After achieving an impressive milestone of one million flight hours, Gulfstream has announced the retirement of one of its most iconic aircraft.
However, a new luxury jet, G800 is set to replace it, with Gulfstream planning its launch later in 2025.
The G650 distinguished itself not only through its impressive range and speed but also with its cutting-edge engineering and luxurious design.
This made it the model of choice for business travelers, but also by government and corporate entities that depend on premium air mobility solutions. It set new benchmarks for comfort, efficiency, and technological advancement, standards that have been upheld and enhanced in subsequent Gulfstream models.
“Since their inception, the G650 and G650ER have become the industry standard that all others have followed, recently surpassing a staggering 1 million flight hours,” said Mark Burns, President of Gulfstream. “Beyond the program’s innumerable accolades and 125+ world speed records, innovations introduced with the form, fit and precision manufacturing process of the G650 laid the groundwork for today’s next-generation Gulfstream fleet.”
The first G650 was delivered to its launch customer in 2012 and two years later, in 2014, the G650ER, an extended range version of the original, was certified.
The farewell to the Gulfstream G650 marks the end of an iconic era in aviation. Known for its exceptional range, speed, innovative engineering, and luxurious design, the G650 was a favorite among business travelers and companies worldwide. This aircraft set the standard for comfort, efficiency, and technological advancements, leaving a lasting legacy.
Farewell, Gulfstream G650, and thank you for setting the gold standard in private aviation. ✈️✨
