Questions
How many passengers does the G280 seat?
Up to 10 in a typical executive layout. Some aircraft are configured differently, so we confirm the exact seating for your trip when we quote.
How far can the G280 fly?
The manufacturer quotes a range of about 3,600 nautical miles. With a normal load and reserves we plan on about 3,050 nm nonstop; winds, passengers and luggage all change it.
Can the G280 fly London to Dubai nonstop?
London to Dubai is about 2,979 nm. That is comfortably within its range.
Can the G280 cross the Atlantic?
London to New York is about 2,986 nm. Flying west into the prevailing winds it behaves more like 3,434 nm. It normally makes one fuel stop, often in Iceland, Ireland or Canada. For nonstop transatlantic flights we suggest a larger, longer-range jet.

It typically cruises at about 482 knots (893 km/h). London to Nice takes about 1h 30m.
How much luggage fits on the G280?
