It features signature oval windows, three cabin zones, and a low cabin pressure. One of the most widely produced Gulfstreams, with approximately 360 aircraft produced, the fleet is well-served worldwide. The cabin includes a flight attendant and hot meals. The baggage compartment is accessible in flight. Typical routes include Moscow–Beijing, Almaty–London, and Tashkent–Singapore.

The American Gulfstream is synonymous with the flagship business jet: half of the world's long-range aircraft fleet bears the letter G. The current lineup includes the super-midsize G280, the new G400/G500/G600, and the pinnacle G650ER, G700, and G800 with a range of up to 14,800 km. Signature features include the M0.90 cruiser, oval windows three times larger than standard windows, and cabin pressure equivalent to 900 m.

The Gulfstream fleet maintains a dispatchability rate of 99.8% thanks to the largest in-house service organization in business aviation: 4,000+ specialists, $2 billion spare parts inventory, and a 24/7 support center capable of dispatching a mobile team anywhere in the world. Rolls-Royce Pearl engines on the G700/G800 are serviced under the CorporateCare program at an hourly rate.

Industry benchmark: a five-year-old G650ER sells for $81,000–$52 million, compared to a catalog price of $81,000+ million. During shortage years, used aircraft fetched higher prices than new ones, taking into account the backlog. G550s from the 2010s consistently fetch $81,000–$14 million. Liquidity is driven by global demand: a third of buyers are from the US, a third from the Middle East and Asia, so the seller is not reliant on a single region.

For 3-5 hour routes and regional flights, the G280 offers a range of 4,500 miles (6,660 km), 10 seats, and is the most fuel-efficient in the family. The G500/G600 offer a range of 5,800–7,500 miles (9,600–12,000 km), from Almaty or Moscow to London and Singapore nonstop. The G650ER and G700 are the classic intercontinental jets: 8,500–8,500 miles (13,900–14,350 km), with a 19-seat cabin with a bedroom and shower; the G800 extends the range to 9,000 miles (14,800 km).

A class for those who need a maximum cabin size without having to pay long-haul prices: 8-10 hour flights on the same level as Almaty-London, Moscow-Delhi, and Dubai-Singapore. Three lounge areas allow for simultaneous meetings, dining, and sleeping. Typical applications include transporting delegations, large family trips, and government and corporate flights with 10-14 passengers.

Capacity — 10–16 seats: Legacy 600/650 take 13–14 passengers, Challenger 850 — up to 14–16. Range: Challenger 850 — 5,200 km, Legacy 600 — 6,000 km, Legacy 650 — 7,200 km, Gulfstream G450 — 8,060 km, three-engine Falcon 900LX — 8,800 km. Baggage compartments of up to 6.8 m³ in the Legacy — the most capacious in the long-haul segment.

The Large Class adds a third cabin zone and up to 16 seats—but a significant portion of the models in this segment (Legacy, Challenger 850) are based on regional airliners, making them heavier and slower to climb. The Long-Range Class (Global, Gulfstream G550+) offers a range of 9,600–14,800 km and new airframes, but is twice as expensive to purchase. This class offers maximum cabin space for a reasonable price.

Five models: Bombardier Challenger 850 — 14–16 seats, liner-width cabin; Embraer Legacy 600 and 650 — three zones, a huge 6.8 m³ trunk and the best price for the capacity; Gulfstream G450 — the fastest in the set with a range of 8,060 km; Dassault Falcon 900LX — three-engine configuration, 8,800 km and approval for difficult short runways.

Start with two figures: the typical route length and the number of passengers. Up to 1,000 km and 4 passengers – a turboprop or light jet; 2,000–4,000 km – a medium jet; nonstop intercontinental flights – a long-haul jet. Add adjustments for short runs, baggage volume, and berths. We'll select a model that matches your profile and calculate the economics of ownership.

A new aircraft comes with a factory warranty and a 1-3 year waiting list, but the price is maximum. A used aircraft offers immediate delivery and a lower price for the 30-60%, but it's important to check the engine life and history. For most buyers, a new aircraft, 3-7 years old, is optimal: the main discount has already been applied, and the aircraft still has a long service life. We consider both options.
