The record has been claimed back less than two weeks after Bombardier announced it had set a new record from LA to Farnborough with its Global 8000 aircraft. The Canadian OEM’s jet completed the journey in 8 hours and 46 minutes at a top speed of Mach 0.93. Gulfstream’s record-setting flight departed Los Angeles International Airport and landed at Farnborough Airport, breaking Bombardier’s record by 19 minutes – 3.6% faster. This latest record is yet another demonstration of Gulfstream’s commitment to delivering proven performance in real-world situations, where it matters most.”
