Gulfstream G550 empty legs

Of the heavy Gulfstreams we track, the G550 is the one whose empty legs come from the widest set of operators, which makes it the least dependent on any one fleet's schedule and the most worth an alert.

Coast to coast

Austin to Teterboro, Charleston to Boca Raton, Opa Locka to Van Nuys: transcontinental and Florida legs from an aircraft with 6,000 nm in hand. No corridor dominates; the G550 goes where its last job finished.

Fifteen seats, a rare price

Operators list fifteen seats on average, the most of any type here bar the airliner derived Embraers. A price appears on a small minority of legs, which for a Gulfstream is notable. Notice is under a week and listings do not stay long. The GV is the same fuselage a generation older and is on the board in similar numbers. Specification: Gulfstream G550 buyer's guide.

Gulfstream G550: specification and background

The G550 is the Gulfstream V with the PlaneView glass cockpit, enhanced vision, an extra window and about 250 nm more range, in service from 2003 and built until 2021, with over 580 delivered. It was the standard ultra long range business jet for most of that period, with large government and corporate fleets as well as charter, and its listings here come from a wider set of operators than any other heavy Gulfstream.
