Gulfstream G280/200 Private Jet Charter

Gulfstream G280/200 at a glance

Every figure in this block is copied from the specification table on our own fleet page for this type. Nothing here is a manufacturer brochure number and nothing has been rounded up.

What the range means in practice

6,667 km published range against a longest published route of 5,500 km. This is the smallest aircraft on this website that still clears every sector we publish nonstop, and that combination - super-midsize cabin, large-jet reach - is the whole argument for the type.

The number that matters on a chartered aircraft is not the headline range but the margin left over once the headline range has been spent. A published range figure is a still-air, optimum-cruise, sensible-payload figure. Fill all ten seats, load the hold and fly into a winter jet stream, and the usable figure comes down. On this type the margins are real but they are not enormous, so the caveat deserves more weight here than it does on a Global.

The longest sector we publish, London to Dubai at 5,500 km, leaves 1,167 km of published range unspent - a genuine margin, and enough to absorb a bad day of winds, but not the four-figure surplus a long-range twin carries. Amsterdam to Dubai at 5,169 km leaves 1,498 km. Below that, from Geneva at 4,920 km downwards, every route on this site is inside by two thousand kilometres or more.

Where our own route research actually puts this aircraft is shorter than any of that: Larnaca to Nice at 2,461 km and London to Mykonos at 2,568 km. Those are three-and-a-half-hour sectors for eight or ten people, which is where a super-midsize aircraft is the right size of answer rather than an expensive one - and where the cabin height starts to matter more than the range column.

None of that is a promise for your specific day. Published range is a specification, not a guarantee: the operating crew plans every flight against the actual weight, the actual weather and the actual alternate airfields, and their number is the one that counts. On a full ten-seat cabin flying the longest sectors in the table below, that conversation is worth having at the request stage rather than on the morning.

The twelve longest routes we publish, measured against 6,667 km

Below 2,400 km the range question stops being interesting on this type: every remaining route on this website is inside its published range with a comfortable margin. These are the mid-length ones, from about an hour and a quarter to two and a half hours by our own published flight-time estimates, and they are where a ten-seat cabin is usually the right size of aircraft rather than an expensive one.

Distances are great-circle figures between airport coordinates from the OurAirports open dataset, retrieved 23 August 2026. Flight times quoted anywhere on this page are estimates from a model fitted to the flight times Diamond Executive Aero Services already publishes, not measured block times. The 19 routes shorter than 700 km are listed on the route index. Range figures are the ones published on our own fleet page and assume still air, optimum cruise and a sensible payload.

The cabin

7.87 m long, 2.18 m wide, 1.91 m high, ten seats, five of which become beds, and a 3.40 m³ hold that is reachable in flight. Here is what each of those measurements means once you are on board.

Height is this aircraft’s headline number. 1.91 m is the tallest cabin on our entire fleet page below the large-cabin jets - taller than the Falcon 7X, the Falcon 900, both Globals and the G450 and G550, all of which list 1.88 m. In a super-midsize aeroplane that is unusual, and it is the reason people who have flown one ask for it again.

Width. 2.18 m, which is wider than every light and midsize type on our fleet page - the Challenger 350 lists 2.19 m and the Legacy 500 2.08 m in the same size class. Combined with the height, it is what makes a 7.87 m cabin feel like a room rather than a corridor.

Length, honestly. 7.87 m is a super-midsize figure, not a large-cabin one: the Falcon 900 lists 10.11 m and the G450 12.29 m. Ten people fit and ten people are comfortable, but this is one cabin zone, not three. On a two- or three-hour sector that is exactly right; on a seven-hour sector you would want the larger aeroplane.

Sleeping. Five berths out of ten seats. Half the cabin lies flat, which on the three-and-a-half-hour eastern Mediterranean runs this type is quoted on is more than most parties need.

Luggage. 3.40 m³, and the description we publish for the G280 makes a point of it being accessible in flight - one of the changes from the earlier G200, along with the enlarged cabin, the five extra windows, the new engines, the T-tail, higher cabin pressure and lower noise. 3.40 m³ is a large hold for the class: the Challenger 350 lists 3.00 m³.

Cabin dimensions, berth counts, baggage volumes and the flight-attendant line are all taken from the specification tables published on this website, including the comparison figures quoted for other types.

What it costs

From 5,600 EUR per flight hour. That is the rate Diamond Executive Aero Services publishes for the Gulfstream G280 on its own rate card. It is a rate card, not a quotation.

An hourly rate is the largest single component of a charter price and it is never the whole of it. A quotation also carries the cost of positioning the aircraft to your departure airport and away again afterwards, landing, handling and parking charges at both ends, crew duty and, on some dates, overnight costs. Two trips of the same duration on the same aircraft can differ substantially because one starts where the aeroplane already is and the other does not.

Used carefully, though, the hourly rate is a good sanity check. Take the flight time we publish for a route, multiply, and you have the flight-time component of the price before the fixed costs are added. The examples below use our own published flight-time estimates.

The same 5,600 EUR hourly figure appears on our rate card for the Citation Sovereign, Challenger 350, which is what makes it a class rate rather than an aircraft rate. Choosing between types inside a band is a decision about cabin, berths and luggage, not about the hour.

Which routes we quote it on

Our own route research names the Gulfstream G280/200 as a suggested aircraft on 2 of the routes published on this website. They run from 2,461 km to 2,568 km. These are not the only sectors it can fly - the range table above covers that - they are the ones where we would put it forward first.

Suggested aircraft per route come from the route research file behind this website. Every route page listed here also names alternatives, because availability on your dates decides more charters than any specification does. The full list is on the route index.

Prices we have published for the Gulfstream G280/200

These are our own figures for this aircraft, not somebody else’s estimate. They are whole-aircraft prices for the sectors named, at the passenger count shown, and they move with the date, the positioning of the aircraft and the fuel price on the day. Treat them as the size of the number rather than as a quotation: only a written quotation against your dates is a price.
