About this aircraft
The Gulfstream G280 is Gulfstream's current super-midsize workhorse—designed to replace the G200 with better field performance, range, and a quieter, more refined cabin.
Honeywell HTF7250G engines and a modern wing help it climb quickly and cruise efficiently on transcontinental city pairs. Gulfstream markets it as a bridge between midsize convenience and large-cabin presence.
Operators favor the G280 when the mission is coast-to-coast or Europe–Middle East style travel without stepping into G500-class economics.
