Gulfstream G550 charter: cost per flight hour in euros

The Gulfstream G550, a symbol of luxury and efficiency in aviation, offers an unbeatable combination of range, speed and comfort. For those looking to charter this exceptional aircraft, costs vary depending on a number of factors, including flight duration, distance flown and additional services. The price range for chartering a Gulfstream G550 is typically between €11,270 and €12,400 per flight hour.

If you require a short charter, the price per flight hour can also significantly exceed the above price range.

Factors that influence the costs:

Flight duration and route: longer flights and intercontinental routes can increase costs. The Gulfstream G550 can stay in the air for up to 13 hours and can reach destinations worldwide without a stopover.

Additional services: VIP catering, a dedicated flight attendant and other customized services can impact the overall cost. High-quality catering and comprehensive service on board are included as standard and contribute to a luxurious flight experience.

Airport and landing fees: These vary depending on the departure and destination airports. Large international airports often have higher fees than smaller regional airports.

Availability and demand: At peak times, such as during major events or vacation periods, charter costs can rise.

For flights across the Atlantic, the G550 is a preferred choice of our customers, as the interior of older models has often been renewed and is therefore in no way inferior to the interior of the newer jets. However, the fare is much more attractive

Gulfstream G550: Required taxiway length for take-off and landing

For safe takeoff, the Gulfstream G550 requires a taxiway length of approximately 1,800 meters (5,905 feet). This length ensures that the aircraft can achieve sufficient acceleration to take off safely, even when fully loaded and under various weather conditions.

Landing a Gulfstream G550 requires a shorter taxiway length compared to takeoff. For a safe landing, a taxiway of approximately 1,066 meters (3,500 feet) is required. This length takes into account braking performance and the ability of the aircraft to come to a quick stop after touchdown.

Factors influencing the taxiway length

- Weight: The take-off weight has a considerable influence on the required taxiway length. A fully loaded aircraft requires more taxiway length to take off than a lighter aircraft.

- Weather conditions: Weather conditions such as temperature, wind direction and speed as well as air pressure can influence the required taxiway length.

- Altitude: Airports at higher altitudes require longer taxiways as the air density is lower, which affects the performance of the aircraft.
