Rates are the heavy / ultra-long-range jet class band from our estimator. A specific Gulfstream G550's quote depends on its operator, age, and home base.

Heads of state, flight departments, and executives ordered the G550 for over a decade when the mission was anywhere. Hundreds were built. As newer flagships arrived, many G550s moved into charter, so ultra-long-range flying is now a Tuesday booking for Thursday, with a crew that has crossed oceans in it.

The cabin divides into multiple living zones for a dozen or more, with the signature Gulfstream windows and the low cabin altitude that leaves passengers rested. From Southern California it turns Hawaii, Europe, or Asia into a nonstop, and a full party going that far is what it was built for. On a domestic leg it is overkill, and the fuel for an ocean rides in the wing down the coast.
