In Photos: Gulfstream's Lineup at the 2025 Paris Air Show

‍PARIS — On the official first day of the 55th Paris Air Show, Gulfstream displayed two aircraft: the G600 (N766GD) and the G700 (N721GA), both of which Airways was able to tour and access.

While our editorial focus is on commercial aviation, a rare opportunity presents itself to show our readers the private side of aviation. Gulfstream announced the launch of the fully customizable G600 back in 2014, and in 2019, its sister, the G700, was launched.

We kicked off with a tour of the G600; after briefly admiring the wonderfully reflective exterior, we climbed up the folding stairs and entered the cabin, where the Captain warmly greeted us.

Inside is an immaculate, modern, and, of course, luxurious cabin. The G600 can accommodate up to four “living areas”. It can seat up to 19 passengers, with a sleeping capacity of 10, consisting of a kitchen area, dining or work station, living room, and a well-decorated lavatory.

Behind the lavatory is a door that gives access to a pressurized cargo hold.

One thing that passengers can appreciate is the large oval windows, 16% larger than previous models, which let in plenty of natural light.

On both the G600 and G700, the windows are the same size, allowing for minimal change in environment for customers who switch between aircraft. The G700 features 20 of Gulfstream’s Panoramic Oval Windows.

Before we moved on to the G700, we were able to interview Scott Evans, Director of Demonstrations and Corporate Flight Operations at Gulfstream, in the flight deck, which Mr. Evans described as a “cockpit made by pilots, for pilots,” emphasizing its practicality.

We discussed the aircraft’s capabilities, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), and its competitiveness in the market with him. Stay tuned via our YouTube channel to watch the interview.

The exterior of the G700 is just as sleek as the G600, which also features an advanced aerodynamic wing with high-speed winglets, designed by Gulfstream. Heading into the cockpit, there is a head-up display (HUD) that features a Predictive Landing Performance System.

When combined with Gulfstream’s Combined Vision System (CVS), this system can improve pilot situational awareness and increase access to more airports. These two systems combine the Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS) and Synthetic Vision System (SVS) in a single image.

The G700 is slightly longer than the G600 and can fly up to 7,700 nautical miles, compared to the 6,600 nautical miles flown by the G600.

With a similar sense of grandeur and luxury to the G600, the G700 can circulate 100% fresh air inside the cabin, further enhancing the passenger experience.

The highlight of the G700, which the G600 lacked, was the private seating area at the front of the cabin and the spacious bed at the rear. Each window has electric blinds that can be lowered to create a more intimate and ambient setting. This addition increases the living space capacity to five.
