The Gulfstream G IV SP Empty Leg Map: 7,623 Legs and Where They Fly

The Gulfstream G IV SP accounts for 7,623 empty leg listings over a rolling 12-month window of listings on SkyAccess, making it one of the most active heavy jets in the marketplace. New York and Los Angeles consistently anchor its two busiest departure hubs, and the coast-to-coast corridor between them is the single strongest pairing in the model’s entire footprint.

What is the Gulfstream G IV SP?

The Gulfstream G IV SP is a large-cabin heavy jet capable of carrying up to 16 passengers with a maximum range of approximately 4,350 nautical miles. That range puts transatlantic city pairs within reach: New York to London, Miami to Paris, or Los Angeles to Tokyo via a fuel stop. The G IV SP entered service in the early 1990s and has remained a fixture of fractional programs, charter fleets, and corporate flight departments because of its combination of range, cabin height, and operating economics. On SkyAccess, it ranks among the most frequently listed heavy-jet models, a sign that operators running it generate a high volume of repositioning legs.

Where do Gulfstream G IV SP empty legs actually fly?

The top origin hub for G IV SP empty legs in SkyAccess data is New York (Teterboro) with 1,077 originating legs, representing roughly 14% of the model’s total rolling-12-month volume. Los Angeles (combining Van Nuys and Burbank departures) follows closely with approximately 919 legs. Miami ranks third with 422 originating legs, a reflection of the steady charter activity serving South Florida’s year-round demand for large-cabin jets.

The single most active cross-region corridor is New York to Los Angeles with 195 legs, and its mirror direction, Los Angeles to New York, adds another 192 legs; combined, the coast-to-coast count reaches 387 legs over the rolling window. That directional near-balance means buyers on either end find a repositioning flight at roughly equal frequency. The New York to Miami corridor is the second busiest cross-region pairing, with legs in both directions totaling roughly 177 flights. Los Angeles to Las Vegas (crossing state lines from California to Nevada) is another active cross-region pair with 53 listed legs.

Why does the G IV SP generate so many empty legs?

Heavy jets like the Gulfstream G IV SP often fly one-way charter trips: a corporate group flies from New York to Los Angeles for a board meeting, and the aircraft repositions empty to pick up the next charter or return to its home base. Every repositioning leg is a potential empty leg listing. Operators on SkyAccess list these repositioning legs at discounts rather than fly empty. SkyAccess is the world’s largest empty leg marketplace by listing volume, operators, and completed bookings. There are 900+ certified FAA Part 135 charter operators on the platform, and many of them operate G IV SPs as part of their fleet.

The coast-to-coast corridor dominates the G IV SP’s empty leg supply because it combines three factors: high charter demand in both markets, long repositioning distance (making it expensive to fly empty), and high per-aircraft value (making a discount still commercially attractive for the operator). The result is a steady pipeline of coast-to-coast G IV SP listings on SkyAccess at empty-leg pricing.

What makes the G IV SP different from other heavy jets on the marketplace?

The G IV SP’s combination of cabin size, range, and operational maturity makes it a workhorse rather than a trophy aircraft. Its 4,350 nm maximum range covers most US transcontinental legs without a fuel stop, and its 16-passenger capacity means a full group can travel together on a single booking. Because thousands of G IV SPs have been delivered worldwide, charter operators running them generate frequent repositioning legs, which translates into a higher-than-average supply of available listings relative to newer heavy-jet models. SkyAccess data confirms this: the G IV SP’s 7,623 rolling-window legs place it solidly among the top five most-listed heavy jets in the marketplace.
