(Reuters) -General Dynamics said on Wednesday its Gulfstream G800 jet has received certifications from the Federal Aviation Administration and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency.
The company had said in January it expected FAA certification for the jet in the first half of 2025.
The G800 is part of General Dynamics' business jet offerings under its Gulfstream brand. The aircraft can seat up to 15 passengers and has a maximum range of 8,200 nautical miles, according to the company's website.
The certifications mean Gulfstream can now start customer deliveries of the jet and enter it into service in the U.S. and Europe.
General Dynamics' aerospace unit has been grappling with longer certification times, holding up supply of jet engines and keeping it from completing deliveries on schedule.
