Charter of a Gulfstream G650 starts at $11,000 to $16,000 per flight hour. The G650 received its FAA type certificate in September 2012 and made its first customer delivery that December. It carries up to 19 passengers across a 7,000-nautical-mile range at 516 knots. It won the 2014 Collier Trophy for technological advancements in performance, cabin comfort, and safety. Two Rolls-Royce BR725 A1-12 engines produce 16,900 lbf each. Hogani Jets coordinates each Gulfstream G650 charter through licensed Part 135 operators.

The Gulfstream G650 was formally launched in May 2005 and publicly unveiled in March 2008. Gulfstream executives stated it would become their largest, fastest, and most expensive business jet. The G650 made its first flight in November 2009. Flight testing for the maximum operating speed of Mach 0.925 was completed in May 2010.

The G650 was the second business jet to use fly-by-wire flight controls. Its three-axis digital system incorporates quadruplex dissimilar redundancy: two flight control computers, each with two independent channels. Approximately 500 G650 aircraft have been produced.

Gulfstream Aerospace produced the G650 from 2012 through 2023. The G650ER, introduced in 2014, extended range by 500 nm. It also lowered cabin altitude from the G650's 4,850 feet to 3,300 feet.

The Gulfstream G650 is an ultra long range twin-engine jet first certified in September 2012. It carries up to 19 passengers across a 7,000-nautical-mile range at 516 knots. Two Rolls-Royce BR725 A1-12 engines produce 16,900 lbf each. Maximum takeoff weight is 99,600 lbs and service ceiling is 51,000 feet. The aircraft won the 2014 Robert J. Collier Trophy.

The Robert J. Collier Trophy is the highest honor in American aviation. The G650 won it in 2014 for advances in performance, cabin comfort, and safety. Three specific engineering achievements drove that recognition.

First, fly-by-wire. The G650 was the second business jet to use a three-axis digital fly-by-wire flight control system. The system incorporates a quadruplex-redundant flight control computer with a dedicated backup computer providing an additional safety layer.

The G650's fly-by-wire system has two flight control computers, each with two channels for quadruplex dissimilar redundancy. A Predictive Landing Performance System assists the crew in evaluating runway requirements under all weather conditions. The aircraft holds FAA certification for steep approaches, enabling it to operate from London City Airport.

Second, PlaneView II. The cockpit carries the Gulfstream PlaneView II integrated flight deck. It includes a Rockwell Collins LCD head-up display with LED light source. Honeywell's next-generation FMS and 3-D scanning weather radar with vertical profile view are also standard.

The G650 environmental control system maintains a cabin altitude of 4,850 feet at cruise. The system replenishes 100 percent fresh air every two minutes. Sixteen signature Gulfstream oval windows, each 28 by 20.5 inches, provide natural light at every seat position.

The G650ER is the extended-range version of the G650. The cabin, engines, and avionics are identical. Two differences matter: range and cabin altitude.

The cabin altitude difference is the most operationally significant distinction. The G650ER's 3,300-foot cabin altitude is 1,550 feet lower than the G650's 4,850 feet. Passengers on the ER arrive fresher on 10 to 14-hour sectors as a result. The G650 offers the same cabin at the same rate. The ER adds 500 nm and better pressurization for missions that need both.

The Gulfstream G650 seats up to 19 passengers. Standard configurations run 13 to 16 across four zones.

  • Four cabin zones: forward work area, entertainment zone, dining and conference area, aft rest zone.
  • Seats convert into beds for up to seven passengers, depending on configuration.
  • Each seat has a touchscreen interface for lighting, temperature, and entertainment control.
  • The Gulfstream Cabin Control app mirrors these controls on personal smart devices.
  • K-Band satellite Wi-Fi is standard throughout the cabin.
  • 16 large Gulfstream signature oval windows, one at every seat position.
  • 100% fresh air replenishment every two minutes throughout the flight.

The Gulfstream G650 cabin is 46 feet 10 inches long, 8 feet 6 inches wide, and 6 feet 5 inches tall. Cabin pressurization holds a 4,850-foot equivalent altitude at cruise. The aircraft seats up to 19 passengers with 195 cubic feet of pressurized baggage capacity. The G650ER lowers cabin altitude to 3,300 feet for improved passenger comfort on long sectors.

The 7,000-nautical-mile range enables true global routing. Nonstop city pairs include New York to Dubai and Tokyo to Los Angeles. London to Buenos Aires is also within range.

At the $11,000-16,000 rate tier, the G650 competes with the Global 6500 and Dassault Falcon 8X. Its 7,000 nm range and four-zone 8'6" cabin distinguish it from both alternatives.

What is the difference between the G650 and G650ER?

The G650ER carries approximately 4,000 lbs of additional fuel in the wings. This adds 500 nm of range (7,000 to 7,500 nm) and lowers cabin altitude from 4,850 to 3,300 feet. The cabin, engines, and avionics are identical on both variants.

How many passengers can the Gulfstream G650 carry?

The G650 seats up to 19 passengers. Standard charter configurations run 13 to 16 across four cabin zones. The cabin can sleep up to seven passengers on overnight sectors.

Can the G650 fly New York to Dubai nonstop?
