GulfStream Production, Build Times and Costs

"There are aircraft manufacturers. And then there is Gulfstream."

Gulfstream produces approximately 120–140 aircraft per year across its full product line from its Savannah, Georgia headquarters — a deliberately measured output that reflects the precision and craftsmanship each aircraft demands. This is not mass production. Every Gulfstream is built to order, with a level of quality control that justifies the wait.

Build times for a new Gulfstream typically run 12 to 24 months from contract to delivery, depending on the model and customization scope. The G700 and G800 — the flagship offerings — currently carry lead times at the longer end of that range given strong global demand. Clients with specific interior requirements, bespoke materials, or complex avionics configurations should plan accordingly.

New aircraft pricing reflects the engineering and craftsmanship involved:

ModelNew List Price (approx.)Pre-Owned Range
G280$25–$27 million$14–$22 million
G500$46–$50 million$32–$42 million
G600$54–$58 million$38–$50 million
G700$78–$82 millionLimited availability
G800$84–$90 millionNew deliveries only

Prices are indicative and subject to configuration, market conditions, and availability. Arc Jet Club’s acquisition team provides current, independent market valuations.

The pre-owned Gulfstream market — particularly G550s and G650ERs — offers exceptional value for buyers who want the full Gulfstream experience without new-delivery lead times. A well-maintained G650ER with current maintenance can be acquired and operational within 60–90 days of agreement.

The Current Gulfstream Fleet

Gulfstream G280 — The Super-Midsize Entry Point

Range of 3,600 nm, up to 10 passengers, stand-up cabin at 6’3″. Ideal for transcontinental US, Europe–Middle East, and intra-Asia routes. The most accessible Gulfstream — and still unmistakably one.

Gulfstream G500 — The Sweet Spot
5,200 nm range, Gulfstream’s revolutionary Symmetry Flight Deck with touch-screen controls, 16 panoramic oval windows, and a 46.9-foot cabin. Connects New York to Frankfurt or Dubai to Beijing nonstop. The G500 is where the full Gulfstream experience begins.
Gulfstream G600 — Extended Reach
6,500 nm range in the same cabin architecture as the G500. Adds meaningful route flexibility — New York to Dubai, Los Angeles to London nonstop — without the G700’s acquisition cost. The intelligent choice for frequent long-haul travelers.
Gulfstream G700 — The Flagship
The longest purpose-built business jet cabin in production at 56.2 feet. Five living zones, an ultragalley, a full stateroom, and Gulfstream’s cabin altitude system that maintains 4,850 feet — lower than any competitor — so passengers arrive genuinely rested. Range: 7,500 nm. Cruise speed: Mach 0.925. For clients whose expectations are without compromise.
Gulfstream G800 — The Ultimate Range
8,000 nautical miles nonstop. New York to Singapore. London to Perth. The longest-range production business jet in the world, powered by Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 engines, with the G700’s five-zone cabin. New deliveries available; Arc Jet Club advises on current lead times and pre-order positioning.

Acquisition

The Gulfstream pre-owned market is complex, fast-moving, and unforgiving to the uninformed buyer. A G650ER that appears attractively priced can carry hidden maintenance obligations worth millions. Our independent acquisition advisors have seen every variation of this market. We conduct rigorous maintenance history evaluations, coordinate pre-buy inspections with trusted independent engineers, manage title searches, escrow, and closing — and place your aircraft into a management program post-purchase if desired. Our advice is always — without exception — in your interest. Never the seller’s.

What never changes: Every inquiry, every conversation, every itinerary detail is handled in complete confidence. We have built our reputation on discretion as much as expertise. An NDA is available upon request — though most of our clients tell us they’ve never felt they needed to ask.

When you fly with Arc Jet Club, you are not simply a reference. You are a close client — and there is a meaningful difference.
