The Gulfstream G280 is a long-range super-midsize charter option with a wide stand-up cabin, short-field capability and Gulfstream flight-deck design. It can be evaluated for transcontinental or selected transatlantic missions with up to 10 passengers, subject to actual payload, operator approval and the aircraft positioned for the trip.

Why the Gulfstream G280 remains a charter consideration

The G280 first flew in 2009 and entered service in 2012 as the successor to the G200, adding a clean wing, new engines, updated avionics and a longer finished cabin. General Dynamics announced the G300 in 2025 as the eventual replacement, but that successor's panoramic windows and Harmony flight deck must not be attributed to an in-service G280.

Variant note. The announced G300 replaces the G280 in Gulfstream's development roadmap but has a different cabin, avionics and preliminary performance definition. No G300 feature is assumed on a G280 charter aircraft.

Super Midsize Jet category-level whole-aircraft planning range; not a live offer or a model-specific quote. Pricing was reviewed August 29, 2026 and the current planning policy is effective through November 30, 2026. Only a current written proposal confirms the aircraft, direct carrier, inclusions, conditional charges and total trip price.

Inside the Gulfstream G280

Gulfstream publishes seating for up to 10 and sleeping positions for up to five across two living areas, with executive tables, a galley and an aft vacuum lavatory. The 935-cubic-foot cabin measures 25 feet 10 inches long, 6 feet 11 inches wide and 6 feet 1 inch high, while 120 cubic feet of baggage is accessible in flight. Nineteen windows provide natural light; seat design, power, Wi-Fi, entertainment, galley appliances and exact floorplan remain completion-specific.

Gulfstream G280 range, cruise speed and flight deck

The reviewed product data lists 3,600 nautical miles of maximum range, while Gulfstream's historical profile identifies Mach 0.80 long-range cruise, normalized to approximately 459 KTAS at ISA tropopause conditions. Two Honeywell HTF7250G turbofans, PlaneView280 avionics and Gulfstream's clean swept wing with winglets distinguish the type. The direct carrier calculates payload, runway, weather, routing and reserve feasibility.

Range reference
Up to 3,600 nm
NBAA IFR theoretical range at Mach 0.80 with four passengers, two crew and NBAA IFR reserves; actual range varies with route, weather and outfitting.
Cruise speed reference
Approximately 459 KTAS at Mach 0.80 long-range cruise
Mach converted using about 574 knots for the speed of sound at ISA tropopause conditions; actual TAS varies with altitude and temperature.
Engines and efficiency context

Is the Gulfstream G280 right for your charter?

A G280 can suit eight to 10 travelers who need wide-cabin comfort, accessible baggage and longer nonstop reach than many super-midsize peers. Jet Partners can source competing direct-carrier proposals and should verify the actual tail, seating, connectivity, crew and airport plan, along with firm price and written terms, before a booking decision.

Jet Partners compares trip-specific proposals as an air charter broker.

Confirm these details in writing

  • Aircraft, cabin layout, passenger count and baggage fit.
  • Named direct air carrier and available trip-specific safety information.
  • Runway, payload, weather, routing and possible technical-stop limits.
  • Total price, inclusions, conditional charges and cancellation terms.

The properly licensed direct air carrier identified in the proposal retains operational control and makes the final flight-operational decisions.

Questions about chartering the Gulfstream G280

How many passengers can the Gulfstream G280 carry?
Up to 10 passengers across two living areas; sleeps up to 5 in published configurations. That is a model-level reference, not a promise for every tail. The approved seat map, required crew, payload, baggage and mission conditions determine the passenger count that the direct carrier can accept.
What is the charter range of the Gulfstream G280?
Up to 3,600 nm is the reviewed planning reference for this profile. NBAA IFR theoretical range at Mach 0.80 with four passengers, two crew and NBAA IFR reserves; actual range varies with route, weather and outfitting. Winds, weather, routing, runway conditions, payload and required reserves determine practical nonstop capability.
What should I verify when comparing Gulfstream G280 variants?
The announced G300 replaces the G280 in Gulfstream's development roadmap but has a different cabin, avionics and preliminary performance definition. No G300 feature is assumed on a G280 charter aircraft. The written proposal should identify the exact variant, tail, seating, equipment and direct carrier rather than treating the directory name as proof of a particular configuration.
How much does it cost to charter the Gulfstream G280?
The reviewed category planning range is $9,500–$13,000 per billable hour. It is not a Gulfstream G280-specific offer; positioning, billable time, minimums, airports, taxes, fees, crew requirements and the actual aircraft determine the written trip price.
What cabin amenities are available on the Gulfstream G280?
Gulfstream publishes seating for up to 10 and sleeping positions for up to five across two living areas, with executive tables, a galley and an aft vacuum lavatory. The 935-cubic-foot cabin measures 25 feet 10 inches long, 6 feet 11 inches wide and 6 feet 1 inch high, while 120 cubic feet of baggage is accessible in flight. Nineteen windows provide natural light; seat design, power, Wi-Fi, entertainment, galley appliances and exact floorplan remain completion-specific. Those are model-level and reviewed-aircraft references; every required seat, lavatory, power, connectivity, entertainment, catering and baggage feature must be confirmed on the proposed tail.
Who operates a flight on the Gulfstream G280 arranged through Jet Partners?
Jet Partners acts as an air charter broker and does not operate the aircraft. The properly licensed direct air carrier identified in the written proposal provides the flight, retains operational control and makes final safety and operational decisions.
