Gulfstream for London City

GULFSTREAM 150, the mid-size cabin, 3,000 nm range, short runway performance baby jet, flew to London City Airport on Friday 30 April, having secured certification to use the airport’s 5.5º steep approach.  It is the first aircraft in the Gulfstream family to gain its London City ticket and Gulfstream pilots Brett Rundle and Earl Leonard were at the controls.  Speaking at EBACE, Gulfstream CEO Joe Lombardo highlighted 60% of the company’s aircraft sales are coming from international rather than US customers now, highlighting significant interest from the Asia Pacific region where the manufacturer has placed 110 aircraft to date.  “The industry is recovering, albeit slowly,” he said. www.gulfstream.com
