Buying a Used Gulfstream G280

Buying a Gulfstream G280 is about the engines, maintenance programs and avionics as much as the airframe. Engine and airframe hourly-maintenance programs transfer with the aircraft and materially change both price and risk.

What to check before buying

  • Engine status & program — time to overhaul/MPI and whether the engines are enrolled on an hourly maintenance program (the biggest value driver on any jet).
  • Airframe program & inspections — scheduled (Doc) inspections, airframe/parts programs and total cycles.
  • Avionics & mandates — a modern glass flight deck plus required mandates (ADS-B, FANS) raise value and capability.
  • Damage history & logbooks — complete, gap-free records and a clean accident history protect resale.
  • Pre-buy inspection — a full pre-buy at a type-authorised service centre before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions — Gulfstream G280

What makes the Gulfstream G280 stand out among super-midsize jets?
The G280 is the most fuel-efficient super-midsize jet — operating costs are lower than a Hawker 800XP while outperforming it in speed (459 kts), cabin size, and range (3,600 nm). It cruises coast-to-coast nonstop, seats 10, and has Gulfstream build quality. The PlaneView 280 cockpit is pilot-friendly. Over 250 delivered since 2012 with strong residual values.
What does it cost to operate a Gulfstream G280 per year?
Annual budget is .15M at 200 hours/year. Variable costs run ,500-,200/hr. Fuel burns 240 GPH (,440/hr at /gal). Fixed costs total 25K-25K/yr. The HTF7250G engines are efficient and reliable. At 0.3-2.7M used, the G280 is priced above the Challenger 350 but offers better fuel efficiency and the Gulfstream pedigree.
How does the G280 compare to the Challenger 350?
The G280 and Challenger 350 are direct competitors. The G280 has longer range (3,600 vs 3,200 nm), lower fuel burn (240 vs 260 GPH), and better field performance. The Challenger 350 has a wider cabin, more cabin volume, and flat floor throughout. Both cruise at ~459 kts and seat 10. The Challenger outsells the G280 but the Gulfstream holds residual value better.
