Gulfstream Private Jets Explained: The G700, G800 & G650 — the Jets Billionaires Fly, and How to Charter One

Say "private jet" and one name comes to mind first: Gulfstream. America's flagship business-jet maker is the benchmark for ultra-long-range flying — the brand most chosen by the world's top executives and public figures. Its newest flagship, the G700, has the widest cabin in business aviation, while the G800 flies farther than any Gulfstream before it. This guide breaks down the Gulfstream lineup and how to charter one in Korea.

Quick Summary

Who Is Gulfstream?

Gulfstream is a business-jet manufacturer based in Savannah, Georgia, and the dominant force in the ultra-long-range, large-cabin segment. It has built top-tier jets since the 1960s, and the G650 cemented its image as "the summit of private aviation." Alongside Bombardier, it's one of the two giants of the long-range market.

Its strengths are clear: a high cruise altitude (flying above congested airways for a faster, smoother ride), a wide and quiet cabin, and the range to cross continents nonstop. New to aircraft classes? See our private jet class guide.

Did you know?

The flagship G700 has the widest cabin of any business jet and can be divided into up to five living areas. And the G800 flies about 8,000 nautical miles (roughly 14,800 km) — the longest range of any Gulfstream — nonstop.

Three Reasons Gulfstream Is Special

1. Higher and faster

Gulfstreams cruise at high altitude, above congested traffic and weather, for a faster, smoother flight — and the G650/G700 class can cruise above Mach 0.9. See where they rank in our fastest private jets guide.

2. The widest cabins in the sky

The G700 has the widest cabin of any business jet — a "residence in the sky" with conference, dining, lounge and bedroom zones. See the layout in our private jet cabin tour.

3. Intercontinental nonstop

The G650ER, G700 and G800 link Seoul to New York and London — and beyond — without a fuel stop. Compare Seoul's options in our Seoul nonstop ultra-long-range guide.

Which Gulfstream Should You Choose? Pick by Mission

• Intra-Asia, mid-range: The G280 super-midsize is efficient.

• Long-range with a generous cabin: The G600 or the iconic G650ER strike a fine balance.

• Ultra-long-range and maximum comfort: The G700 (widest cabin) or G800 (longest range) are the summit.

How to Charter a Gulfstream

You don't have to own a Gulfstream to fly one — you can charter it by the day. Set your route, date and party size, bring it to an independent advisor, and compare at least three competing quotes from vetted operators.
