Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. today announced that the Gulfstream

G500 and Gulfstream G600 have received certification for steep approach landing by the European Union

Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), allowing operations at even more airports worldwide.

“Our customers already benefit from the groundbreaking performance and efficiency of the G500 and

G600,” said Mark Burns, president, Gulfstream. “With EASA steep-approach certification now achieved,

we’re proud to offer European operators even greater fleet flexibility by giving them access to more

remote airports and destinations around the world.”

The G500 and G600 received Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) steep-approach certification in 2023

and 2024, respectively. To earn the FAA and EASA certifications, both aircraft successfully demonstrated

steep-approach capabilities with low-speed handling and short-field landings at London City Airport in

England and Lugano Airport in Switzerland.

Today, there are more than 350 G500 and G600 aircraft in service around the world. The fleet has

amassed a combined total of more than 350,000 hours, 173,000 landings and over 120 city-pair speed

records.
