Gulfstream displayed two of its business jets – the G650 and the G150 at the show with the former making its India debut. The Gulfstream G650 is, quite simply, the gold standard in business aviation. Roger Sperry, Regional Senior Vice President International Sales of Gulfstream, said: “Our fleet in Asia-Pacific has grown dramatically over the past decade. That is especially true in India, where the number of aircraft has grown from five in 2001 to nearly 20 in 2013.”

The G650 entered service on December 20, 2012. Since then, Gulfstream has delivered over 50 G650 aircraft to customers. The G650 fleet has more than 14,000 flight hours and over 6,600 landings. The fleet leader has accumulated more than 1,000 flight hours and 550 landings. The Gulfstream G650, which is certified in 10 countries, goes farther faster than any other business jet in the world. The aircraft has a top speed of Mach 0.925. At Mach 0.90, it can whisk eight passengers and four crew 6,000 nm (11,112 km). At Mach 0.85, its range increases to 7,000 nm (12,964 km).

Despite its $65 million price, Gulfstream Aerospace’s top of-theline G650 is the most sought-after private jet on the market and is awaiting to make a breakthrough in India which is expected to happen soon. The G650 is the most technologically advanced business aircraft in the sky. The G650 comes standard with many advanced safety features such as Enhanced Vision System (EVS), the Head-Up Display (HUD) II and the Synthetic Vision-Primary Flight Display (SV-PFD). Its Planeview cockpit comes equipped with a Triplex Flight Management System, Automatic Emergency Descent Mode, 3-D weather radar, Advanced Flight Controls – in short, a full array of sophisticated, next-generation technology to improve pilot situational awareness and enhance safety.
