About the G800

The Gulfstream Aerospace G800 — part of the G700/G800 family — is a business jet aimed at private and corporate travel that values cabin comfort and speed. It entered service in 2024 and is now one of the more recent designs in its class, developed in the United States.

On performance, it offers a maximum range of about 8,000 nautical miles and a cruise of roughly 488 knots. It seats up to 19 passengers and is powered by 2 Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines.

Its 8,000 nm range makes it well matched to nonstop ultra-long-haul sectors. It is flown by a two-pilot crew and is approved for IFR flight. Before committing to the G800, weigh it against the closest alternatives below and talk to an advisor about acquisition and operating costs.

G800 cost of ownership: FAQs

How much does it cost to own a G800?

Total cost of ownership for the G800 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 G800'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 G800 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 G800?

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 G800, crew and the engine program are typically among the largest line items.

Is it cheaper to charter or to own a G800?

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 G800 tends to win. Model your hours in the calculator, then compare against our charter and leasing options to find your breakeven.

Are these G800 cost figures exact?

No — the defaults are indicative, class-typical starting values, not the price of the G800 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.
