Gulfstream and Boeing Business Jets aircraft have broken two world records for non-stop flights. En route to the FIDAE 2002 air show in Santiago, Chile, a Gulfstream 200 super mid-sized business jet flew 3,810km (2,060nm) from Savannah, Georgia, to Guayaquil, Ecuador, in 4h 35min at an average speed of 449kt (830km/h). Meanwhile, a recently-delivered Boeing Business Jet flew 12,680km from Seattle, Washington, to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia - the furthest distance ever achieved by the narrowbody jet. Average speed for the 14h 12min journey was Mach 0.78.
