Gulfstream G-280

Two areas, one private space

Gulfstream offers several floor plans accommodating up to ten passengers, with sleeping arrangements for up to five in the appropriate configuration. The distinction matters when planning an overnight sector. Ask for the exact bed and seating plan, rather than assuming a ten-seat aircraft provides the same experience for ten sleeping guests.

Understand the measurements

The manufacturer distinguishes finished cabin dimensions from larger structural measurements: finished height is 1.85 metres and finished width 2.11 metres. The cabin length, excluding baggage, is 7.87 metres. These are useful comparison figures when evaluating headroom and usable space alongside other super-midsize aircraft with differently reported dimensions.

Distance and pace

The 3,600-nautical-mile reference is based on four passengers, two crew and NBAA IFR reserves. Long-range cruise is Mach 0.80, while high-speed cruise is Mach 0.84. Choosing the faster profile changes the mission calculation, so the proposed route and passenger load should be assessed together before confirming a nonstop flight.

Make the cabin yours.

Tell us your route, number of passengers and luggage requirements. If sleeping, a private meeting or dining together matters, include it in your brief so the proposed aircraft can be assessed against the way you want to travel.
