Gulfstream G550 charter questions
How much does it cost to charter a Gulfstream G550?
Typical US charter rates run $8,500–$11,000 per flight hour, so a two-hour leg lands around $17,000–$22,000 before positioning. These are market estimates, not quotes — the trip-specific total depends on your dates, positioning and airport fees, and dispatch sends it after current availability is checked.
How many passengers does the Gulfstream G550 carry?
14 in the normal charter layout and up to 19 in a high-density configuration. Baggage is the usual real constraint: 226 cubic feet, roughly 56 large cases with soft bags on top.
How far can the Gulfstream G550 fly?
6,750 nautical miles (7,768 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 G550 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.
