About the Gulfstream Aerospace Gulfstream G280

The Gulfstream G280 is a super-midsize business jet that bridges the gap between midsize comfort and long-range capability, offering transcontinental reach in a relatively compact airframe. Developed from the Israel Aerospace Industries Galaxy through Gulfstream's acquisition and extensive redesign, the G280 entered service in 2012 with a completely new wing, upgraded Honeywell HTF7250G engines, and a glass cockpit featuring PlaneView 280 avionics. It seats up to 10 passengers in typical executive configurations and can fly 3,600 nautical miles nonstop—enough to connect New York to London or Los Angeles to Honolulu—while cruising at Mach 0.80 and reaching a maximum altitude of 45,000 feet.

What distinguishes the G280 in the super-midsize category is its combination of cabin width (7 feet 2 inches), sea-level cabin pressure up to 25,000 feet, and field performance that allows operation from shorter runways than many competitors. The aircraft features a low cabin altitude of 5,000 feet at maximum cruise altitude, reducing passenger fatigue on long flights. Its wing design delivers excellent handling characteristics and fuel efficiency, while the Honeywell engines provide strong climb performance and reduced operating costs compared to earlier Galaxy variants. The G280 competes directly with the Bombardier Challenger 350 and Embraer Praetor 600 in a market segment favored by corporations and charter operators seeking intercontinental range without stepping up to large-cabin aircraft.
