Where the Gulfstream G550 fits
Model overview
About the Gulfstream G550
The G550 can carry up to 18 passengers in suitable configurations and has a 6,954-nautical-mile maximum-range profile, a 51,000-foot ceiling and 226 cubic feet of baggage capacity. BR710 engines and the PlaneView flight deck underpin its long-range operating reputation.
The final commercial G550 was delivered in June 2021 after more than 600 aircraft entered service, with some special-mission completions continuing from previously produced airframes. The model remains a benchmark pre-owned long-range jet because of its fleet depth, support network and mission versatility.

Ownership considerations
Confirm BR710 engine and APU coverage, large inspection status, landing gear, corrosion prevention and life-limited components. Long-range utilization and international operating history require complete records review.
Cabin technology, connectivity and completion age vary widely across the fleet. A lower acquisition price can be offset by refurbishment and major maintenance, so build a multi-year capital plan around the exact serial number.
