Gulfstream V empty legs

Providenciales in Turks and Caicos is the centre of the GV's world on this board: in from White Plains and Dothan, out to Fort Lauderdale. An ultra long range jet spending its empty legs on the Caribbean.

Island work

Turks and Caicos to Fort Lauderdale is the busiest pairing, with the inbound legs from White Plains and from Dothan in Alabama behind it. The pattern is a small number of operators positioning for island trips, and it recurs.

A month of notice

Unlike the G450 and GIV-SP, the GV is published with weeks in hand, about a month as a rule, and its listings stay up. No price has appeared on it. Enquire early and ask more than one operator.

The first 6,500 nm Gulfstream

Three living areas over fifty feet of cabin is what a GV interior usually gives you.

The 1997 aircraft that gave Gulfstream a 6,500 nm range, later refined into the G550. Fifteen seats is typical. We count the GV and the GV ULR together, as operators do. Specification: Gulfstream V specification.

Gulfstream V: specification and background

The Gulfstream V of 1997 was the first purpose built ultra long range business jet: 6,500 nm on Rolls-Royce BR710 engines, enough for New York to Tokyo, in a cabin fifty feet long. It set dozens of records and was refined into the G550 in 2003, which is the same airframe with a new cockpit and more range. Operators still list the GV by name, and this site counts the GV and GV ULR together.
