The Jet Finder's aircraft directory currently tracks 27 active Gulfstream G280 registrations in the FAA Aircraft Registry. Each tail number page below provides individual registration data, serial numbers, ownership records, and specification details sourced from official FAA documentation.
Performance & Powerplant
Power comes from 2x Honeywell HTF7250G, each producing 7,624 lbs of thrust. Maximum cruise speed reaches 482 knots (Mach 0.85), with a long-range cruise of 459 kts (Mach 0.80) for missions where fuel efficiency matters more than speed. The service ceiling of 45,000 feet puts the Gulfstream G280 well above commercial traffic corridors, and a takeoff distance of 4,750 ft keeps smaller airfields accessible.
With 3,600 nautical miles of range under standard reserves, the Gulfstream G280 handles coast-to-coast domestic flights and select Caribbean or Central American destinations. Typical hourly operating costs range from $3,500-$5,000 per flight hour.
Cabin & Interior
The Gulfstream G280 cabin measures 25.8 ft long, 7.0 ft wide, and 6.3 ft tall. Standard configurations seat up to 10 passengers, with 120 cu ft of externally accessible baggage capacity. The Honeywell PlaneView280 avionics suite provides full IFR certification for all-weather operations.
Market Position
Competes with the Challenger 350 and Citation Latitude. The Gulfstream G280 continues to serve corporate, charter, and private operators worldwide, supported by a strong aftermarket network and ongoing manufacturer support.
