A Gulfstream G550 business jet recently established a new city-pair speed record, flying 4,082 nautical miles between Hong Kong and Dubai, United Arab Emirates , in 8 hours and 29 minutes.

It flew at an average airspeed of Mach 0.86 into an average headwind in excess of 80 knots. Additionally, the G550, which is designed to fly most efficiently at an altitude of 51,000 feet, flew between 40,000 and 43,000 feet while flying through India and Pakistan ’s restricted airspace.
