Gulfstream Jets: Charter and Ownership Guide
Gulfstream builds almost entirely at the large-cabin end of the market. The current line runs from the super-midsize G280 up to the G700, with the G800 announced but not yet in service.
Gulfstream in the charter market
Origin: United States — large-cabin and ultra-long-range jets.
Gulfstream's reputation in the Middle East rests on the G550 and G650 families, which between them made non-stop Gulf-to-US and Gulf-to-Asia flying routine. Both remain common on the charter market, the G550 as a value long-range option and the G650ER as the type most often requested by name.
The newer G500, G600 and G700 introduced a different cockpit generation and larger cabin windows. For charter buyers the practical questions are simpler: how many passengers, how long is the leg, and does the aircraft need to sleep people properly.
We do not represent Gulfstream. We source specific aircraft from vetted operators and confirm the individual cabin layout, connectivity and crew before we quote.

How to read these figures
Published ranges and cabin dimensions are the manufacturer's maximum values and change with serial number, interior fit and operating conditions. Verify against https://www.gulfstream.com/en/aircraft/ before relying on a figure for a specific mission.
MEGA arranges every flight through registered third-party operators. Aircraft, crew, permits, slots and handling are confirmed per trip and per date, so nothing on this page is an availability guarantee.
