Gulfstream G550 — Gulfstream

Gulfstream · Ultra-long-range jet

Gulfstream G550

The ultra-long-range workhorse — six hundred built, half the world within a single sector.

Twelve-hour intercontinental sectors for up to sixteen, from the deepest ULR charter fleet.

For eighteen years the G550 was the aircraft that defined serious range. More than six hundred were delivered before production closed in 2021 — a fleet that won the Collier Trophy, set fifty-plus city-pair records, and made 6,750 nautical miles at Mach 0.80 feel routine. It was also the first civil aircraft certified with an Enhanced Vision System as standard.

For the charterer, that history compounds into the G550's quiet advantage today: the deepest ultra-long-range charter fleet of its generation, mature support everywhere the aircraft goes, and genuine twelve-hour capability — four living zones, fourteen signature oval windows and sleep for eight — at a more considered figure than the newest flagships.

Good to know

Frequently asked

Can a Gulfstream G550 fly Sydney to Los Angeles non-stop?

Eastbound with Pacific tailwinds and a light load, it can — around thirteen hours against its 6,750-nautical-mile range. The westbound return, into headwinds, normally plans a stop in Honolulu or Fiji. Sydney–Hong Kong, Singapore and Johannesburg are comfortable non-stops; we plan every long sector honestly against the day's winds.

How many passengers does a G550 carry — and can they sleep?

Up to nineteen seated, with fourteen to sixteen typical across as many as four living areas, and berths for around eight when the club seats and divans convert. A dedicated crew-rest area keeps augmented crews fresh on the longest sectors.

How much does a G550 cost to charter?

Priced individually, always — and the G550's large fleet works in your favour, with more airframes competing for the mission than any other jet in its class. Send the trip and a firm, all-inclusive quotation returns within the hour.

G550 or G650ER — how do I choose?

The G650ER adds a wider, longer cabin and the range to fly Sydney–Los Angeles non-stop in both directions. The G550 answers with availability and value on missions inside twelve hours. If the calendar and the route suit it, the G550 is the considered choice; beyond that, the flagship earns its premium.
