G150 vs G200
The G200 leads, topping 4 of 7 compared metrics.
The Gulfstream Aerospace G150 (introduced 2006) and the Gulfstream Aerospace G200 (introduced 1999) are two aircraft buyers regularly weigh against each other. Both are business jets, which makes them natural cross-shopping rivals. The clearest separation between them is cabin capacity, where the G200 carries more passengers. Below we compare them spec by spec, then break down which aircraft suits which mission.

G150 vs G200: the key differences
- The G200 delivers 15% more range (G150: 2,950 nm; G200: 3,400 nm).
- The G150 and G200 are evenly matched on cruise speed, both at 459 kt.
- The G200 delivers 25% more passenger capacity (G150: 8 seats; G200: 10 seats).
- The G150 is the newer design (introduced 2006 versus 1999 for the G200), a gap of 7 years that usually shows up in avionics, cabin systems and fuel burn.
- The G200 is the larger aircraft by maximum takeoff weight (35,450 lbs versus 26,100 lbs), which typically buys more cabin and payload at the cost of higher trip economics.
Which mission suits which aircraft
Both aircraft are built for transcontinental missions, so outright range rarely separates them — the call leans on cabin (the G200 seats more), trip economics and what is actually available on the market. Match the airframe to how you fly most weeks, not to the headline range figure.
Which should you choose?
On published specifications the G200 leads on both range and cabin capacity, so it suits operators who want maximum mission flexibility from a single airframe. The G150 can still be the smarter buy on acquisition cost, operating economics, runway performance, or current availability — the factors that rarely show up in a spec sheet. Our acquisition advisory team can model both against your actual mission profile before you commit.
