The super-midsize business jet segment is highly competitive, but the Gulfstream G280 stands out as a genuine market leader. Since its entry into service in 2012, this aircraft has consistently delivered on its promise of combining best-in-class performance with an exceptional cabin experience. It’s an aircraft that can tackle transatlantic flights with ease while providing the comfort and advanced technology expected from the Gulfstream brand.

PERFORMANCE AND AGILITY

The G280 was a transformative aircraft for Gulfstream, and its performance improvements over its predecessor, the G200, were profound.

• Fuel-efficient power: It is powered by two Honeywell HTF7250G engines, which deliver high thrust for superior climb and cruise speeds while boasting a 12% improvement in fuel efficiency over other jets in its class.
• Best-in-class range and speed: With a maximum range of 3,600 nautical miles, the G280 can complete nonstop transcontinental routes such as London to New York. It has a top operating speed of Mach 0.85.
• Superior airport access: The G280 is certified for steep-approach operations, which allows it to operate from challenging airports with shorter runways and high altitudes, expanding destination options for travelers.

THE CABIN: A SANCTUARY IN THE SKY

The G280’s interior is where Gulfstream’s focus on passenger wellbeing truly shines.

• Class-leading space: The cabin is the longest and widest in the super-midsize category, offering up to two distinct living areas. It can be configured to seat up to 10 passengers and sleep up to five.
• Abundant natural light: With 19 large oval windows, the cabin is filled with natural light, creating an open and airy atmosphere that fights off the feeling of being in a cramped space.
• Quiet and fresh environment: An advanced air ionization system eliminates pathogens and allergens, circulating 100% fresh air into the cabin every two to three minutes. Advanced soundproofing also ensures a quiet flight, allowing for restful relaxation.
• Reduced fatigue: The cabin maintains a low pressure altitude of 7,000 feet at 45,000 feet, which significantly reduces the effects of jet lag and fatigue.

A PILOT’S DREAM: THE PLANEVIEW280™ FLIGHT DECK

The G280’s cockpit is a testament to Gulfstream’s dedication to pilot efficiency and safety.

• Enhanced situational awareness: The PlaneView280™ flight deck is based on the Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics suite and features a Synthetic Vision- Primary Flight Display, which provides pilots with a 3D representation of terrain and runways.
• Safety features: The G280 includes standard autothrottle and autobrake systems, which enhance the safety of takeoff and landing.
• Low-visibility capability: The Enhanced Flight Vision System (EFVS) allows pilots to land in low-visibility conditions, increasing access to airports and reducing the chances of a go-around.
