Gulfstream G550 Charter: Ultra-Long-Range Icon from $48K-$68K
For two decades the Gulfstream G550 has been the benchmark for genuinely global private travel — roughly 6,750 nm of range, a stand-up three-zone cabin, and the reliability that made it a fixture on the world's longest city pairs. Estimated charter runs $48K-$68K. Here's the range, the cabin, and what that buys.
TL;DR — The Gulfstream G550 — a ~6,750 nm ultra-long-range icon, stand-up three-zone cabin, 14-18 seats, New York-Tokyo and London-Cape Town non-stop. Estimated charter $48K-$68K. Bookable through VOLO.
The Range: Genuinely Global
For two decades the Gulfstream G550 has been the benchmark for global private travel. With roughly 6,750 nautical miles of range at Mach 0.80 — and a Mach 0.85 high-speed cruise — it connects the world's longest city pairs non-stop: New York-Tokyo, London-Cape Town, Los Angeles-London, Dubai-New York. Few aircraft have shaped the ultra-long-range category as decisively.
The Cabin
The G550 seats 14-18 passengers across a stand-up three-zone cabin and sleeps 6-8 on flat beds for overnight legs, with a full galley and enclosed lavatory. It's known for its signature large oval windows and a low cabin altitude that leaves you genuinely rested after 12+ hours aloft.
The Cost, and How It Compares
Estimated charter runs $48,000-$68,000 depending on route and dates, with hourly rates typically $11,000-$15,000. Against the flagships: the Bombardier Global 6000 (~6,000 nm) is comparable, while the Gulfstream G650/G650ER (~7,000-7,500 nm, Mach 0.90+) costs more per hour. The G550 is frequently the value pick for true global range. Read the Top 5 longest-range business jets and compare cabins with the aircraft comparison tool.
