The Gulfstream G280 is the smallest and most affordable aircraft in Gulfstream's lineup. This twin-engine, super-midsize business jet, manufactured by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) in partnership with Gulfstream Aerospace, is often referred to as the "Baby Gulfstream." Originally named the Gulfstream G250, the G280 had its maiden flight on December 11, 2009. It received certification from Israel in December 2011 and from the US FAA in July 2012.
While Gulfstream is renowned for its top-tier aircraft, the Gulfstream G280 offers significant advantages in the super-midsize category. Compared to its predecessor, the Gulfstream G200, the G280 features substantial enhancements in aerodynamics, avionics, propulsion, and passenger comfort. Certified for steep approaches, the Gulfstream G280 is ideally suited for short runways, high-altitude airports, and low-visibility conditions. With its advanced aeronautics systems, the Gulfstream G280 opens up a world of possibilities for business travelers.
One of the key upgrades in the Gulfstream G280 is the airfoil redesign, which incorporates elements from the G550 wing. This new airfoil design significantly improves takeoff, landing, and climb performance, allowing the Gulfstream G280 to achieve impressive speeds up to Mach 0.85 while maximizing fuel efficiency. This industry-leading efficiency reduces CO2 emissions and minimizes environmental impact and allows for extended travel lengths up to 3,600 nautical miles. This is perfect for trans-Atlantic travel and can reach far areas of the planet such as the classic London to New York or Singapore to Dubai.
The Gulfstream G280 is certified for a maximum passenger capacity of 10, with a cabin length of 25 ft. 10 in., a finished width of 6 ft. 11 in., and a finished height of 6 ft. 1 in. Despite its certified capacity, Gulfstream offers configurations for 8 to 10 passengers, providing luxurious comfort within its 935-cubic-ft. cabin.
The Gulfstream G280 stands out as a versatile and efficient business jet, making it an excellent choice for discerning travelers seeking performance and comfort in a smaller package.
As of Q2 2025, the factory list price of the Gulfstream G280 is $24,500,000.
