GULFSTREAM BEGINS DELIVERING G280 AIRCRAFT TO CUSTOMERS

A U.S.-Based Manufacturer Receives First Fully Outfitted Super Mid-Sized Aircraft

SAVANNAH, Ga., November 14, 2012 — Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. announced today that it has delivered its first super mid-sized G280 aircraft. The fully outfitted business jet went to a U.S.-based manufacturer with a worldwide presence spanning 190 countries.

The best-in-class G280 aircraft earned type certificates from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and the Civil Aviation Authority of Israel on Aug. 30.

“Gulfstream is excited to deliver this aircraft to a dedicated customer who has worked so closely with us on the G280 program,” said Scott Neal, senior vice president, Sales and Marketing, Gulfstream. “In preparation for our first deliveries of this aircraft, we took a G280 to several fixed base operators around the United States, so their employees could familiarize themselves with the handling requirements for the G280. That was just one of several efforts intended to ensure a smooth entry-into-service for this aircraft.
