Gulfstream G280
The Gulfstream badge and short-field talent in a super-mid body.
What you are paying for
The G280 is the quiet overachiever of the segment: Gulfstream cabin design and a wing that gets out of runways the Challenger needs 1,000 more feet for. Aspen, hot-and-high South American strips, short European fields. Israel Aerospace builds it under license, which is why it undercuts the big-Gulfstream mystique on price while wearing the same badge.

Typical pre-owned asks run EST $16M–$22M. Owning a Gulfstream G280 and flying it 200 hours a year models out to roughly $3.21M–$4.36M per year all-in: crew, hangar, insurance, maintenance programs, and depreciation included. Open this aircraft in the Ownership Desk to stress-test the assumption against your own hours.
Alternatives worth pricing
- Bombardier Challenger 3500: Widest cabin in the class; the 350/3500 line dominates US super-mid charter.
- Embraer Praetor 600: London–New York against most winds. Class-leading range on paper and in practice.
- Cessna Citation Longitude: Quietest cabin Textron has built; NetJets ordered hundreds for a reason.
