When Bombardier launched the Global 7000, somebody at Gulfstream probably got their competitive socks on. Not to be outdone with a 4 zone configuration, Gulfstream looked to stretch the cabin of the G650 to create the Gulfstream G700, the largest of all Gulfstream models in current production.

​

With a price tag marching north of $75 million for the aircraft alone, we are very much at the upper end of what you can get flying privately. Immediately the first difference is the additional rear cabin, giving you an impressive near 17.5 metres of space and another place for privacy or bedroom for longer flights. This aircraft is capable of performing journeys such as London to Hawaii, Singapore and Sao Paulo, to name just a few.

​

There are improvements with its lower cabin pressure in cruise and 100% fresh air system, making passengers feel more alert on arrival.

​

Commercially speaking we think that unless you really are pining for that extra space or range, it may face certain limitations, and the G650 and other smaller Long Range Jets will compete, but if you want to sample the very latest Gulfstream has to offer, this would have to be the model of choice.
