The Gulfstream G280 family occupies a performance niche defined by strong range capability and high-altitude operation, exemplified by this airframe’s 3,600 nm range and 45,000 ft ceiling. Its twin Honeywell HTF7250G engines and PlaneView280™ avionics align the model with buyers and charter operators seeking transcontinental flexibility and business-class comfort for up to ten passengers.
