Inside The $50 Million Gulfstream G500

Inside The $50 Million Gulfstream G500 Private Jet

This is the Gulfstream G500, an aircraft that represents a leap forward in flight deck and flight control interface design, a bold move for a manufacturer as conservative as Gulfstream, yet also a logical progression in business jet design. The G500 is a delight to fly, a significant step up in handling compared to the non-fly-by-wire designs, and the many touchscreens that run the avionics and systems feel as natural as wings on airplanes. Surpassing its predecessor by nearly every performance metric, the new jet flies farther and faster, and to persuade the number crunchers, its more efficient engines help maintain the same cost of ownership as its forbearer despite the improved stats.
The base purchase price for a new G500 is $45 million before options, and the charter price ranges between $7,000 and $9,000 per hour. Naturally, prices will vary depending on availability, fuel prices, ground fees, and more.
While the total fixed cost is roughly $600,000 to $800,000 per year, the average hourly operating cost is estimated at $3,800 to $4,400.
Here is everything you need to know about the Gulfstream G500.
