“[New billionaires in fast-growing countries] have to buy longer-range airplanes. If you’re flying from Mongolia to Nigeria, it’s either a three-day journey flying commercial or a nine-hour flight on your jet.”
Gulfstream Introduces ‘Elite’ Interiors
Gulfstream Aerospace has unveiled “Elite” interiors for the G550 and G450. The extra-cost package incorporates much of the look and feel of the interior for the new ultra-long-range G650 and includes the wireless Gulfstream Cabin Management System (GCMS).
The GCMS provides complete digital cabin control through on-board touch screens, touch switches and passenger controls units, as well as via passengers’ mobile devices that have been loaded with the GCMS app. The Elite interiors also feature 27-inch-wide executive club seats that have telescoping headrests, one-touch full-flat berthing and electric lumbar controls. Customers will be able to choose from a wide variety of textiles, leathers and finishes. Elite interiors will be installed at Gulfstream Savannah [Ga.] and will start at approximately $1.5 million.
