As Gulfstream celebrates the tenth anniversary of its GV business jet, on Monday the Georgia-based company honoured the owner of a Zurich charter company, which has logged 11,000h on its GV.

"The fact that he's getting that much use out of the airplane really testifies to the quality of our product," says Lombardo.
