Frequently asked questions

What is the range of the G280?

The Gulfstream G280 has a range of 6,667 km, or 3,600 nautical miles with regulatory reserves. At its cruising speed of 903 km/h, that works out at about 7 h 23 of continuous flight. Real-world range falls with the number of passengers, the load and headwinds.

How many passengers can the G280 carry?

The standard layout seats 8 passengers. The certified maximum is 10 seats, but a fully loaded aircraft loses range: beyond 8 people, reckon on about 3 % less reach per extra passenger.

How much does it cost to charter a G280?

The hourly rate observed on the European market runs from €7,000 to €13,000 for a Gulfstream G280. A two-hour flight therefore comes to roughly €14,000 – 26,000, all in: crew, fuel and landing fees. Most operators apply a minimum billing of one and a half hours.

Which airports can the G280 use?

It needs 1,448 metres of runway to take off and 969 metres to land at maximum weight. That opens up short fields such as Cannes-Mandelieu, Saint-Tropez La Môle or Courchevel-Chambéry. Its service ceiling reaches 45,000 feet, above commercial traffic and most weather.
