Product Overview
The super-midsized G280 is an improved G200 model by way of a 288 nm increase in range, 4,150 pounds of added MGTOW and a reduction of 210 feet in balanced field length. This improved performance is made possible through a redesigned wing based on that of the G550 model, a larger tail and upgraded engines. Other improvements include a 17-inch longer cabin, a cabin accessible baggage compartment and an advanced avionics package. The twin-engine business jet is built by IAI in Israel and completed by Gulfstream Dallas Love Airport.
As of August 2020, 15% of Gulfstream G280 aircraft were purchased pre-owned by their current owners, the other 85% new. 8.6% are for sale with the majority of those (77%) under an exclusive broker agreement. When for sale the average time on the market is 204 days.
