GULFSTREAM RECOGNIZED FOR SUSTAINABILITY LEADERSHIP
GA – Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. announced today it had earned four National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) Sustainable Flight Department Accreditations. The newly established program recognizes Gulfstream for sustainability leadership across locations.
“We appreciate the partnership with NBAA to recognize our sustainability efforts,” said Mark Burns, president of Gulfstream. “These accreditations encompass our holistic commitment to leading our industry toward its carbon neutrality goals. We are proud to be the first original equipment manufacturer to be identified for these efforts across all four categories — flight, ground support, operations, and infrastructure.”
This program was launched in 2022 by NBAA to recognize “business aviation entities meeting exceptional environmental sustainability standards.”
Gulfstream’s long-term culture of innovation drives sustainable products and practices through cutting-edge aircraft technology, responsible operations, and investments in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
Last month, Gulfstream was the industry’s first business aircraft original equipment manufacturer to fly on 100% SAF. In addition, Gulfstream facilities include more than 2.2 million square feet (about twice the area of Chicago’s Millennium Park) of green buildings both in the U.S. and the U.K. Thanks to Gulfstream’s increased focus on sustainable operations; the company has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 18% since 2014 while expanding facilities by 30%.
Inspired by the belief that aviation could fuel business growth, Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. invented the first purpose-built business aircraft, the Gulfstream I, which first flew in 1958. Today, more than 3,000 aircraft are in service around the world. Together with parent company General Dynamics, Gulfstream consistently invests in the future, dedicating resources to researching and developing innovative new aircraft, technologies, and services. With a fleet that includes the super-midsize Gulfstream G280, the high-performing Gulfstream G650, and the Gulfstream G650ER, and a next-generation family of aircraft, including the all-new Gulfstream G400, the award-winning Gulfstream G500, and Gulfstream G600, the flagship Gulfstream G700, and the ultra-long-range Gulfstream G800, Gulfstream offers an aircraft for every mission. All are backed by Gulfstream’s Customer Support network and its worldwide team. Visit our website at gulfstream.com.
