Here are the details regarding the certification status as of early 2026:
- G700 Status: The FAA granted type certification for the G700 in March 2024. Deliveries to customers began shortly after in April 2024.
- G800 Status: The FAA (and EASA) awarded type certification to the G800 on April 16, 2025, with first customer deliveries announced in August 2025.
- Certification Conditions (Fuel Icing): The certifications for the G700 and G800 are subject to a two-year exemption regarding certain fuel icing testing requirements. The FAA has allowed them to operate while completing these specific tests, which must be finalized by the end of 2026.
- International Status: As of early 2026, while FAA and EASA (European) certifications are in place, the G500, G600, G700, and G800 have not yet received Transport Canada certification, which is causing diplomatic tension.
In summary, the G700 and G800 are fully certified by the FAA to fly, but they are working under a temporary, two-year exemption to complete specific, newly required fuel-system icing tests.
