Gulfstream G280

The Gulfstream G280 is the smallest and most affordable aircraft in Gulfstream's lineup. This twin-engine, super-midsize business jet, manufactured by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) in partnership with Gulfstream Aerospace, is often referred to as the "Baby Gulfstream." Originally named the Gulfstream G250, the G280 had its maiden flight on December 11, 2009. It received certification from Israel in December 2011 and from the US FAA in July 2012. While Gulfstream is renowned for its top-tier aircraft, the Gulfstream G280 offers significant advantages in the super-midsize category. Compared to its predecessor, the Gulfstream G200, the G280 features substantial enhancements in aerodynamics, avionics, propulsion, and passenger comfort. Certified for steep approaches, the Gulfstream G280 is ideally suited for short runways, high-altitude airports, and low-visibility conditions. With its advanced aeronautics systems, the Gulfstream G280 opens up a world of possibilities for business travelers.
