The Gulfstream G400, one of the next rockstars of the business aviation world, is going on tour across the U.S.
Gulfstream Aerospace announced on Thursday its upcoming G400 Experience Tour, allowing potential customers to experience the full-size cabin of the aircraft still under development.
The G400 Experience Tour includes stops in Miami, Houston, Dallas, Denver, Seattle, Chicago, New York, Pittsburgh and Washington, D.C., during the spring and summer. A release from the company did not include dates for the tour.
The company said the initial G400 aircraft has been delivered to its flight test program, with preparations now underway for a first flight later this year. The test program will include four flight-test aircraft and one production-test aircraft that Gulfstream says is “dedicated to cabin comfort and maturity.”
“As we prepare to fly the G400, the latest next-generation aircraft in the Gulfstream fleet, we are giving customers the opportunity to experience its spacious interior firsthand,” said Gulfstream President Mark Burns. “We developed the G400 based on direct feedback from our customers, who told us they wanted the cabin comfort and technology they know Gulfstream delivers in the range and speed category the G400 occupies. As such, the G400 marks the newest innovation in our fleet offering an aircraft for every mission, and we look forward to introducing the aircraft to our customers across the U.S. with this tour.”

Introduced at the company’s Savannah, Georgia headquarters just ahead of NBAA-BACE in October 2021, the company says the Gulfstream G400 “brings an unrivaled combination of range, speed and innovation to the large-cabin business aviation class.”
It is projected to be able to fly a range of 4,200 nautical miles at a cruise speed of Mach 0.85 with reduced fuel consumption, emissions and noise, powered by Pratt & Whitney PW812GA engines.
Customers can choose from three floorplans that seat between 9-12 passengers, and there are 10 panoramic oval windows to let in plenty of light.
With what is branded as the Gulfstream Cabin Experience, the cabin is outfitted to provide “100% fresh air, low cabin altitude, whisper-quiet noise levels and abundant natural light… along with a plasma ionization air purification system.”
Once testing and certification are completed, Gulfstream expects the Gulfstream G400 to enter into service in 2025.
