The all-new Gulfstream G500 business
jet made its Nigerian debut this week, with Gulfstream Aerospace
Corporation’s senior executives visiting Nigeria to give current
and potential customers an opportunity to experience firsthand the
new aircraft’s cutting-edge technology, unparalleled comfort and
superior craftsmanship.
The Gulfstream G500 business jet was on
display for private viewing at the ExecuJet Terminal of the Murtala
Muhammed International Airport in Lagos on February 16 and 17.
At a networking event attended by
senior leaders from diverse sectors of the Nigerian economy,
Commercial Counsellor Brent Omdahl reaffirmed the strong economic
ties between the United States and Nigeria.
“The U.S. Foreign Commercial Service
continues to facilitate long term business relationships between
companies from the United States and Nigeria. We are excited to
welcome this stellar group from the Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation
to share their experience and expertise with Nigerian business
executives,” Omdahl said.
Private aviation is a growing industry
in Nigeria, which is home to more than 20 Gulfstream business
aircraft, most of them large-cabin, long-range jets capable of
connecting companies and business owners with their corporate
interests around the globe. The Gulfstream G500, for example, can
fly 8,149 km at nine-tenths the speed of sound, easily carrying
passengers from Lagos to London or Moscow. At Mach 0.85, the aircraft
can travel 9,630 km, linking Lagos with Caracas or Mumbai.
