Gulfstream G280

Gulfstream certified the G280 in 2012 and continues production today. The aircraft is in active service at charter operators across North America, Europe, and the Middle East, with industry market tracking reporting an active global fleet exceeding 300 aircraft.

The Gulfstream G280 is a super midsize twin-engine jet in current production. It carries up to 10 passengers across a 3,600-nautical-mile range at 484 knots. Two Honeywell HTF7250G engines produce 7,624 lbf each with an 8,000-hour TBO, per Hogani Jet specification data. Maximum takeoff weight is 39,600 lbs and service ceiling is 45,000 feet.

The G200 and G280 share the same Israeli lineage. Everything else was upgraded.

Engines changed most significantly. The G200 used Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306A engines at 6,040 lbf each. The G280 uses Honeywell HTF7250G engines at 7,624 lbf each. That is 1,584 lbf more thrust per engine, a 26 percent increase.

Per Hogani Jet's published TBO data, the HTF7250G carries an 8,000-hour overhaul interval. The longer TBO reduces scheduled downtime and lowers long-term maintenance costs compared to the G200's PW306A program.

Range extended from 3,400 nm (G200) to 3,600 nm (G280). New York to London (3,462 nm) is comfortably within the G280 range. It was at the G200's limit.

Per Hogani Jet's specification data, the G280 climbs to 45,000 feet in approximately 37 minutes. The PlaneView280 cockpit with Collins Pro Line Fusion replaced the G200's Collins Pro Line 4. Synthetic vision, TCAS II, and modern charts are standard on the updated suite.

Yes. With 3,600 nautical miles of range, New York to London (3,462 nm) sits comfortably within the G280's operational envelope.

New York to Paris (3,625 nm) is right at the range limit. Confirm fuel planning and routing with Hogani Jets before booking that specific sector. The G280's 484-knot cruise speed shortens flight times on longer sectors.

Among currently produced super midsize jets at the $5,000-7,000 rate tier, the G280 is one of the strongest transatlantic options. Its 313-aircraft fleet means more availability than smaller-production alternatives.

A super midsize jet trades higher cost for more cabin room and range.

• More range: 3,600 nautical miles versus 2,000 to 3,200 nm for most midsize jets.
• More cabin: 25.5 feet long and 7.2 feet wide versus 17 to 22 feet in most midsize cabins.
• Pressurized baggage: maintains cabin pressure and temperature in the nose hold.
• Transatlantic reach: New York to London is comfortably within nonstop range.
• Best mission: transatlantic and long domestic routes where speed and range both matter.

The Gulfstream G280 seats up to 10 passengers. Standard layouts run 8.

• A typical layout features a forward club section and a rear lounge area.
• Cabin width at 7.2 feet matches the Bombardier Challenger 350 and exceeds the Hawker 4000 (6.5 ft).
• Full stand-up headroom at 6.2 feet throughout.
• A fully pressurized and heated nose baggage hold keeps luggage at cabin temperature.
• 120 cubic feet of baggage space accommodates approximately 2,400 lbs of luggage.
• PlaneView280 avionics provide enhanced situational awareness through the flight deck.

The Gulfstream G280 cabin is 25.5 feet long, 7.2 feet wide, and 6.2 feet tall. Cabin pressurization holds a 5,800-foot equivalent altitude at cruise. The pressurized and heated nose baggage hold accommodates approximately 2,400 lbs. The aircraft seats up to 10 passengers with 120 cubic feet of baggage capacity. With 313 aircraft in active service, the G280 fleet is one of the largest in the super midsize class.

For groups who need the G200's Israeli-designed DNA with modern engines and cockpit avionics, the G280 is the answer. It is in current production, well-supported, and the strongest transatlantic performer among Gulfstream's current super midsize lineup.

The 3,600-nautical-mile range makes the G280 a strong transatlantic performer. Its 484-knot cruise speed shortens flight times compared to slower super midsize alternatives.

The cost to charter a Gulfstream G280 is typically $5,000 to $7,000 per flight hour. New York to London one-way rental runs approximately $68,700 to $88,300. New York to Miami one-way charter price is approximately $22,700 to $29,300. Final all-in cost depends on operator, routing, positioning, and season. Fuel, crew, and maintenance are included in the hourly rate; landing fees, taxes, and repositioning are billed separately.

The G280 competes at the $5,000-7,000 rate tier with the Falcon 2000LX, LXS, and DX EASy. The Falcon 2000LX has slightly more range (4,145 nm). The G280 responds with a larger fleet (313 vs fewer Falcon 2000 variants) and a pressurized baggage hold.

Every Gulfstream G280 charter coordinated by Hogani Jets is operated by an FAA Part 135 certificated direct air carrier holding full operational control of the flight. Each operator's certificate, insurance coverage, and safety record is independently reviewed before Hogani Jets coordinates a booking. ARGUS, Wyvern, or IS-BAO ratings are considered where they exist as one input to that review. Hogani Jets is an air charter broker and does not own or operate aircraft.

The G280 carries Gulfstream PlaneView280 avionics with Collins Pro Line Fusion. TCAS II, synthetic vision, and Primus 880 color weather radar are standard. Honeywell HTF7250G engines have FADEC and an 8,000-hour TBO. Gulfstream's worldwide service network supports the 313-aircraft fleet.

The G280 is well-suited to transatlantic and long domestic routes. The following Hogani Jets route pages cover its most common corridors.

• New York to Miami private jet charter
• New York to London private jet charter
• Miami to Dallas private jet charter
