A 2016 model Gulfstream G280 aircraft is available for charter right now in Europe. This record breaking aircraft model has recently racked up its 58th city-pair speed record on a recent flight in Africa. The record was approved by the U.S.National Aeronautic Association and sent to the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale in Switzerland for recognition as a world record.

The super midsize jet flew 3,248 nm from Windhoek, Namibia, in the southern part of Africa, to Dakar, Senegal, on the west coast, in seven hours and 38 minutes at an average speed of Mach 0.80.

Of the 58 records achieved since the G280’s November 2012 entry into service, four have been made within Africa. The three others involved trips from Luanda, Angola, to Cape Town, South Africa; Johannesburg, South Africa, to Luanda; and Libreville, Gabon, to Casablanca, Morocco.
