Flexjet Expands Fleet with 12 New Gulfstream G700 Jets by 2026
Flexjet has announced plans to add 12 Gulfstream G700 aircraft to its fleet by 2026, with three of the ultra-long-range business jets already acquired. The expansion underscores the company’s commitment to meeting rising demand for long-distance private travel, particularly among a younger generation of affluent travelers seeking flexibility, luxury, and speed.
The Gulfstream G700, one of the most advanced business jets in the world, offers a range of over 7,500 nautical miles and a top speed of Mach 0.925, allowing nonstop travel between major international destinations such as New York and Hong Kong or Los Angeles and Dubai. Its spacious cabin features customizable layouts, advanced lighting, and cutting-edge cabin technology designed to enhance passenger comfort and well-being on long-haul flights.
Flexjet’s investment in the G700 aligns with its broader growth strategy, which includes diversifying its fleet and expanding global operations. The company recently secured $800 million in investment from LVMH, bolstering its financial strength and positioning it for continued expansion in the premium aviation segment. In addition, Flexjet placed a $7 billion order with Embraer for a range of executive jets, reinforcing its focus on offering aircraft suited for every type of mission—from regional hops to intercontinental travel.
“Our outlook for private aviation remains very strong,” said Flexjet CEO Michael Silvestro. “We’re seeing sustained demand from a younger clientele who view private aviation as an essential lifestyle investment rather than a luxury indulgence. The addition of the G700 enhances our ability to serve these customers with unmatched performance and sophistication.”
Flexjet is also investing heavily in its luxury infrastructure, expanding its network of private terminals, and strengthening its in-house maintenance and support capabilities to ensure a seamless end-to-end experience. These developments are part of the company’s vision to deliver not only aircraft access but also a refined travel ecosystem for its members.
Looking ahead, Flexjet is evaluating additional fleet additions, including the Gulfstream G800 and G500, to further expand its range of aircraft offerings. With the introduction of the G700 and continued investment in premium service and technology, Flexjet is positioning itself as a global leader in next-generation private aviation, blending performance, comfort, and innovation for the modern traveler.
