Unmatched Characteristics of the Gulfstream G280: More Than Just a Flight
The Gulfstream G280 was created to exceed expectations. It sets new standards in its class thanks to outstanding characteristics:
Impressive Range and Speed
The G280 can fly non-stop up to 6,667 km (3,600 nautical miles) at a cruising speed of up to Mach 0.84 (approx. 900 km/h). This allows for easy non-stop flights such as Moscow – Dubai, London – Cairo, or Vienna – Almaty. You save precious time.
Best-in-Class Efficiency
Advanced Honeywell HTF7250G engines and improved wing aerodynamics provide not only high speed but also fuel efficiency, making a G280 charter a smart choice.
Short Runway Performance
One of the key features of the G280 is its ability to take off from relatively short runways (approx. 1,448 m / 4,750 ft at full load). This opens up access to more airports located closer to your final destination.
Exceptional Cabin Comfort
- Spaciousness: The longest and most voluminous cabin in its class with stand-up headroom (cabin height 1.91 m / 6 ft 3 in).
- Quietness: Advanced sound insulation creates one of the quietest cabins, allowing you to work or rest undisturbed.
- Fresh Air: 100% fresh, non-recirculated air and a low cabin altitude (equivalent to ~1,800 m / 6,000 ft at a cruising altitude of 12,500 m / 41,000 ft) reduce fatigue.
- Natural Light: 19 large panoramic windows fill the cabin with light.
- Flexible Configuration: The cabin typically accommodates 8-10 passengers, offering comfortable seats, a divan, a full galley for preparing hot meals, and a spacious lavatory.
Advanced Technology
Equipped with the latest PlaneView280™ avionics suite based on Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion, ensuring maximum flight safety. Passengers have access to Wi-Fi, satellite communications, and an entertainment management system.
In-Flight Baggage Access
A unique feature – access to the baggage compartment directly from the cabin during the flight.
How the Gulfstream G280 Stands Out: Comparison with Key Competitors
When choosing a super-midsize jet, it's crucial to compare leading options. The Gulfstream G280 directly competes with excellent aircraft like the Bombardier Challenger 350/3500, Embraer Praetor 600, and Cessna Citation Longitude. While each has its strengths, the G280 distinguishes itself in several key areas important for discerning travelers:
- Superior Cabin Experience: The G280 generally offers greater cabin volume and stand-up headroom compared to many in its class, enhancing comfort on longer journeys. Its remarkably low cabin noise levels and 100% fresh air system contribute to a more relaxing and productive environment than typically found in competing aircraft.
- Performance Edge (Range & Speed): While specific mission profiles vary, the G280 often provides a highly competitive blend of long range (up to 3,600 nm) and high speed (Mach 0.84 cruise), potentially offering faster direct routes or fewer fuel stops compared to some alternatives on certain city pairs.
- Exceptional Short-Field Capability: The G280 is renowned for requiring less runway for takeoff and landing than many direct competitors. This translates to access to smaller, more convenient airports closer to your actual destination, a significant logistical advantage.
- Unique In-Flight Baggage Access: Unlike most aircraft in the super-midsize category, the G280 allows convenient access to the main baggage compartment from within the cabin during flight. This practical feature is often highlighted by passengers.
- Proven Gulfstream Reliability: The G280 benefits from Gulfstream's legacy of robust engineering and a comprehensive global support network, providing peace of mind and operational dependability.
While the Challenger, Praetor, and Longitude are formidable aircraft, the Gulfstream G280 consistently scores high marks for its specific combination of cabin comfort, performance flexibility, and unique practical features, making it a preferred choice for many charter clients seeking the best in the super-midsize category.
