A long range jet turns a flight from the United States to Europe into a working day or a night’s sleep, in a cabin made for the distance.
Gulfstream introduced the V / G500 in 1997. It seats 14 to 16 with a published range of 6,750 nautical miles and a cruise of Mach 0.80 (~459 knots). The aircraft has a service ceiling of 51,000 feet, 226 cubic feet of baggage volume and an enclosed lavatory.

Why the Gulfstream V / G500 Fits Europe
With 6,750 nautical miles of published range, it can fly between Paris and destinations such as New York and Los Angeles, allowing for reserves and routing. Many of Europe’s main airports need a slot for every flight, and we arrange it as part of the booking so the timing is settled before departure.
Jets of this size usually arrive in Europe through London, Paris or one of the main international airports, and most of those airports need a slot for each flight, which we arrange as part of the booking. Runway needs are calculated by the operator for that day’s conditions, and we confirm them with the operator before the trip is booked.
How Europe Clients Use the Gulfstream V / G500
Travelers who split their time between the United States and Europe tend to choose this class for the crossing, and the operator plans the route around each passenger’s passport, so share them early.
Give your advisor the cities, the number of travelers and how much they are packing, and you will get an honest view on whether this aircraft is the one for the trip.

- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
