Model overview

The original Gulfstream V is an ultra-long-range heavy jet developed for intercontinental trips, pairing a large three-zone cabin with approximately 6,500 nautical miles of model-level range. It is distinct from the later GV-SP marketed as the G550, and its current charter value depends strongly on the individual aircraft's completion, avionics modernization and maintenance status.

Production history

Gulfstream launched the GV program in the early 1990s and began deliveries in 1997 after extending the G-IV concept with a longer fuselage and Rolls-Royce BR710 power. The platform became Gulfstream's first purpose-built ultra-long-range business jet and led directly to the GV-SP/G550. However, regulators preserve the original GV and later GV-SP as separate models within the same type family.

Variant note. This profile covers the original Gulfstream V, not the later GV-SP/G550. The cabin uses both excluding-baggage and total-interior length conventions so it can be compared without mixing measurement boundaries.

Heavy / Long Range 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.

Cabin and baggage

Cabin layout and baggage guidance

The reference interior is approximately 43 feet 11 inches long excluding baggage and about 50 feet 1 inch overall, with a 7-foot-4-inch width, 6-foot-2-inch height and approximately 1,669 cubic feet of cabin volume. A roughly 226-cubic-foot internal baggage compartment supports longer travel.

Common thirteen- to fourteen-passenger cabins offer club seating, conference/dining space and an aft lounge or divan plus a full galley and lavatory. Natural light, office equipment, outlets, Wi-Fi, entertainment and sleeping positions require inspection of the quoted tail.

Seat configuration
Typically 13–14 executive passengers; approved layouts can carry up to 19
Cabin volume

Cabin dimensions
Approximately 43 ft 11 in excluding baggage; about 50 ft 1 in total interior long × Approximately 7 ft 4 in wide × Approximately 6 ft 2 in high
Baggage capacity

Large internal aft compartment generally accessible in flight; shelving, loading limits and wardrobe allocation vary by completion.

Range and performance

Performance and flight deck guidance

The Gulfstream V is commonly referenced at up to approximately 6,500 nautical miles, with long-range cruise around Mach 0.80 and high-speed cruise near Mach 0.85, equivalent to about 459 to 488 KTAS under ISA tropopause conditions. Twin Rolls-Royce BR710A1-10 turbofans, Honeywell SPZ-8500-series avionics and a swept low wing define the model. Installed aerodynamic equipment requires aircraft-specific confirmation.

Approved FMS, display and communications upgrades vary and the direct carrier controls trip planning.

Range reference
Up to approximately 6,500 nm
Original-GV model reference under defined payload, cruise and reserve assumptions; actual route capability varies.
Cruise speed reference
Approximately 459–488 KTAS at Mach 0.80–0.85
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
Two Rolls-Royce BR710A1-10 turbofans
Fuel use depends on the installed engines, thrust, altitude, payload and cruise settings. An engine model alone does not predict trip fuel use.
Avionics
Honeywell SPZ-8500-series integrated flight deck in original configurations; approved navigation, display and communications upgrades vary by tail
Aerodynamic design
Swept low wing; installed aerodynamic equipment requires aircraft-specific confirmation

Mission fit

Mission planning guidance

A GV can suit a long international itinerary for a group that needs generous baggage and separate spaces for work, meals and rest, especially when an upgraded older airframe compares favorably with newer alternatives.

Jet Partners can obtain an identified aircraft's current records, cabin photos, floor plan and equipment list from the direct carrier, which then confirms payload, range, airport suitability, crew, schedule, price, terms and operational control.

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 V

How many passengers can the Gulfstream V carry?
Typically 13–14 executive passengers; approved layouts can carry up to 19. 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 V?
Up to approximately 6,500 nm is the reviewed planning reference for this profile. Original-GV model reference under defined payload, cruise and reserve assumptions; actual route capability varies. Winds, weather, routing, runway conditions, payload and required reserves determine practical nonstop capability.
What should I verify when comparing Gulfstream V variants?
This profile covers the original Gulfstream V, not the later GV-SP/G550. The cabin uses both excluding-baggage and total-interior length conventions so it can be compared without mixing measurement boundaries. Ask for the exact variant, tail number, seating, equipment and direct carrier in writing. A model name does not confirm the offered configuration.
How much does it cost to charter the Gulfstream V?
The reviewed category planning range is $8,750–$12,250 per billable hour. It is not a Gulfstream V-specific offer. The written trip price depends on the actual aircraft, positioning, billable time and minimums. Airports, taxes, fees and crew requirements also affect the total.
What cabin amenities are available on the Gulfstream V?
The reference interior is approximately 43 feet 11 inches long excluding baggage and about 50 feet 1 inch overall, with a 7-foot-4-inch width, 6-foot-2-inch height and approximately 1,669 cubic feet of cabin volume. A roughly 226-cubic-foot internal baggage compartment supports longer travel. Common thirteen- to fourteen-passenger cabins offer club seating, conference/dining space and an aft lounge or divan plus a full galley and lavatory. Natural light, office equipment, outlets, Wi-Fi, entertainment and sleeping positions require inspection of the quoted tail. 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 V arranged through Jet Partners?
Jet Partners acts as a charter services arranger 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.
