About the G700

The Gulfstream G700 is the flagship of Gulfstream's large-cabin line and one of the two definitive ultra-long-range business jets flying today. Certified in 2024 as the successor to the record-setting G650, it pairs intercontinental reach with the longest cabin in business aviation — just under 57 feet — giving operators room for up to five distinct living areas, a dedicated stateroom and separate crew rest.

Range is rated at roughly 7,750 nautical miles at a Mach 0.85 long-range cruise, falling to about 6,650 nm when pushed to its high-speed Mach 0.90 setting, and the aircraft is certified to a class-leading Mach 0.925. Power comes from the latest-generation Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines, and the Symmetry flight deck introduces active-control sidesticks and extensive touchscreen automation. Twenty oversized panoramic windows make the cabin noticeably brighter than rivals, and a low cabin altitude reduces fatigue on the longest legs.

The G700 suits corporate flight departments and charter operators who routinely fly intercontinental missions with a full passenger load and want the newest, most spacious cabin available. The trade-offs are those of any new flagship: a premium acquisition price and a thin pre-owned market, since early airframes trade rarely. Before committing, confirm authorised Gulfstream service-centre access and parts logistics for your home region — on an aircraft this capable, support proximity affects dispatch reliability more than any remaining spec difference against its closest rival, the Bombardier Global 7500.

G700 cost of ownership: FAQs

How much does it cost to own a G700?

Total cost of ownership for the G700 depends mostly on how much you fly it. The largest drivers are crew, the engine/maintenance program, fuel, insurance and hangarage. Enter your own annual hours in the calculator above for an estimated annual cost and a fully-burdened cost per flight hour, then talk to our advisors for a precise model built on current market data.

What is the G700's operating cost per flight hour?

Hourly cost is driven by fuel burn, engine and airframe maintenance programs, and reserves. As a business jets with turbofan powerplant, the G700 sits in that class's cost band — variable (hourly) costs rise with utilisation while fixed costs are spread across more hours. Use the calculator to see the cost per hour at your expected annual hours.

What are the biggest costs of owning a G700?

Ownership costs split into fixed costs that you pay regardless of flying (crew salaries, insurance, hangar, management and scheduled maintenance reserves) and variable costs that scale with hours flown (fuel, engine-program charges and maintenance). For a business jets like the G700, crew and the engine program are typically among the largest line items.

Is it cheaper to charter or to own a G700?

At low or variable annual utilisation, chartering or leasing is usually more economical because you avoid the fixed costs of ownership; above a breakeven level of annual hours, owning the G700 tends to win. Model your hours in the calculator, then compare against our charter and leasing options to find your breakeven.

Are these G700 cost figures exact?

No — the defaults are indicative, class-typical starting values, not the price of the G700 or a quotation. They are there so the estimate is sensible for the aircraft's class; adjust every input to your operation. A precise, data-backed ownership model with current market pricing is available through our acquisition advisory team.
