Gulfstream aims to deliver 150 aircraft in 2025, up from 136 deliveries in 2024, and expects its new G800 to receive certification before midyear.
The company had initially projected 175 deliveries for 2025, but concerns over supplier capacity have led to a more cautious outlook, according to Corporate Jet Investor.
“We have the capacity to build more, but our planning must be prudent and reflect the reality of the supply chain. This year, we have taken a slightly more conservative approach to deliveries,” said Phebe Novakovic, CEO of General Dynamics, Gulfstream’s parent company, during an analyst conference.
Some G700 deliveries were delayed in Q4 2024 due to engine and parts shortages, though Gulfstream stated it has largely resolved these issues. The manufacturer is confident it can avoid similar delays with the G800, as it shares most components with the G700.
In Q4 2024, Gulfstream delivered 47 aircraft, including 42 large-cabin jets. For the full year, the company delivered 136 aircraft, with 118 being large-cabin models.
Aerospace Growth and Financial Outlook
Aerospace sector sales are expected to exceed $12.65 billion in 2025, up from $11.24 billion in 2024. Gulfstream aims to increase its operating margin by 70 basis points to 13.7%, which should boost aerospace earnings (including Gulfstream and Jet Aviation) by 18.5% to $275 million.
The G800 and G400: Replacing Gulfstream Icons
Gulfstream announced the G800, which will replace the G650, and the G400, set to replace the G450, in October 2021. The G800, featuring four cabin zones, offers the longest range of any Gulfstream jet, capable of flying 8,000 nautical miles.
The G650, launched in 2008, entered service in 2012. Gulfstream had originally planned to deliver the G800 in 2023 and the G400 in 2025.
