Where it can actually go
Runway reality for the Gulfstream G500
Published runway figures are planning context only. Suitability depends on the actual aircraft, payload, weather, field elevation and operating conditions, so the proposed airport is checked for the requested trip.

Good to know
Gulfstream G500 charter questions
How much does it cost to charter a Gulfstream G500?
We do not publish an estimated hourly rate for the Gulfstream G500: charter pricing for this type varies too much by operator, age and configuration for a single figure to be honest. Dispatch sends a trip-specific total quote for your actual route and dates, usually after current availability is checked.
How many passengers does the Gulfstream G500 carry?
12 in the normal charter layout and up to 19 in a high-density configuration. Baggage volume varies by configuration on this type — dispatch checks the actual aircraft before confirming.
How far can the Gulfstream G500 fly?
5,300 nautical miles (6,099 statute miles) at a 488 kt cruise. Real range drops with headwind, full seats and hot high airports, so we plan the fuel stop rather than discover it.
Which airports can the Gulfstream G500 use?
As a ultra-long-range it typically needs about 6,500 ft of runway at mid weights. Runway suitability depends on the actual aircraft, payload, weather and field conditions, so dispatch checks the proposed airport for the requested date.
