Gulfstream G550 Facts at a Glance
The Gulfstream is basically a “beefed up” version of light and mid-size jets. It has the same simplicity and convenience but with a higher weight and passenger capacity. Consider some of the following specs and facts common among this popular private jet:
- A fully fueled Gulfstream G550 can travel 500-560mph and a total distance of 6,437km, thus making it suitable intercontinental travel.
- It can accommodate anywhere between nine and 15 passengers. Some models can accommodate up to 19.
- It has a much larger cabin space with amenities that include a lavatory, Wi-Fi access, DVD players, and bar. In-flight entertainment and flight attendant services may even be available in some rental packages.
- Celebrities including John Travolta, Steve Jobs, Larry Ellison, and Mark Cuban own and travel in a Gulfstream.
While a Gulfstream is larger than light and midsize jets, it is still small enough to land in small airports. While typical commercial planes can only land in an estimated 550 airports around the world, the Gulfstream and other private planes can land in an estimated 5,500 airports, thus drastically increasing the travelers’ destination of choice.
