Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. announced Oct. 13 that its fleet of corporate, demonstration and support aircraft has surpassed 3 million nautical miles flown on sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) blends.
In addition, the Gulfstream G800, Gulfstream G700, Gulfstream G600 and Gulfstream G400 flew to the 2025 NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE) in Las Vegas, Nevada, in mid-October using SAF blends.
Those aircraft and a mock-up of the newly announced Gulfstream G300 were on display during the exhibition.
“Flying more than 3 million nautical miles on SAF blends is a testament to our commitment to sourcing and demonstrating the benefits of SAF,” said Gulfstream President Mark Burns.
“We have long been at the forefront of sustainability innovations, and this latest milestone further showcases our leadership and efforts to advance business aviation’s overarching sustainability goals,” he added.
Gulfstream said it continues to maintain a strong supply of SAF at its headquarters in Savannah, Georgia, and plans to increase its usage by nearly 50 percent this year compared to last year.
Gulfstream added that it has long been a sustainability leader in business aviation, achieving numerous accomplishments by partnering with fuel developers and engine manufacturers.
The company was the first original-equipment manufacturer (OEM) to fly on 100 percent neat SAF and was also the first OEM to receive National Business Aviation Association Sustainable Flight Department Accreditations in all four available categories: flight, operations, ground support and infrastructure.
In 2023, Gulfstream made the world’s first transatlantic flight using 100 percent SAF comprised of 100 percent hydroprocessed esters and fatty acids (HEFA) in both engines and in 2024 successfully completed ground emissions testing of 100 percent neat SAF containing zero sulfur.
