The Indian aviation industry is strong and vibrant, and we are excited about the future

A leader in business aviation, Gulfstream designs, develops, manufactures, markets, services and supports the world’s most technologically advanced business-jet aircraft. The company has been selling business jets worldwide since 1958 and has been active in the India market since the mid-1980s.

The Gulfstream fleet in Asia-Pacific has grown dramatically over the past decade. It is especially true in India, where the number of Gulfstream aircraft has grown from five in 2001 to 21 in 2011. The Gulfstream fleet includes the entrylevel wide-cabin, high-speed Gulfstream G150; the super mid-size G280; the large-cabin, mid-range G350; the large-cabin, long-range G450; the largecabin, ultra-long-range G500 and G550; and the ultra-largecabin, ultra-long-range muchanticipated Gulfstream G650.

Gulfstream’s G550 is one of the most popular aircraft in India. Powered by enhanced Rolls-Royce BR710 turbofan engines, the G550 has a range of 6,750 nm (12,501 km) at Mach 0.80 and a high-speed cruise capability of Mach 0.87. With its long legs, the G550 easily links Washington, D.C., with Dubai, London with Singapore and Tokyo with Paris. The Gulfstream G550 has the best overall cabin in its class with the longest floor space, largest baggage area that is fully accessible in flight, and the best overall environment. The G550 is renowned for its technologically advanced design and was awarded the National Aeronautic Association’s Robert J. Collier Trophy, the most prestigious aviation award in the United States.

Gulfstream sees immense long-term potential for India’s growing roster of business entrepreneurs with operations within India and beyond. Many rely on Gulfstream to help them move rapidly across continents to maximise speed, productivity and flexibility in today’s competitive global market.

Over a quarter century, Gulfstream has earned a reputation as the preferred provider of private jets to many of the country’s business leaders. The Indian aviation industry is strong and vibrant, and we are excited about the future. Gulfstream continues to expand its commitment in the country by significantly increasing marketing and product support activities to serve our customers.

In addition to manufacturing the world’s most advanced business aircraft, Gulfstream has the world’s number one support organisation and a total workforce of more than 3,300 employees standing behind it. Gulfstream aircraft are supported by Airworks India, with parts provided from major supply bases in Madrid, Dubai, Hong Kong and Singapore. In addition, the company recently named Arrow Aircraft Sales and Charters Private Limited, a professional business-aviation service provider, as its incountry authorised independent sales representative.
