About the Gulfstream Aerospace G-V-SP

The Gulfstream G550 is one of the world's premier ultra-long-range business jets, capable of connecting virtually any two cities nonstop with a range exceeding 6,750 nautical miles. Introduced in 2003 as an evolution of the legendary Gulfstream V, the G550 features Rolls-Royce BR710 turbofans, a spacious cabin accommodating up to 19 passengers in typical executive configurations, and a maximum cruise speed of Mach 0.885. Its combination of transcontinental range, high-speed cruise capability, and sea-level cabin pressurization at 51,000 feet made it the benchmark for corporate aviation throughout the 2000s and 2010s.

The G550 holds multiple city-pair speed records and remains a favorite among Fortune 500 flight departments, heads of state, and charter operators who demand the ability to fly New York to Tokyo or Los Angeles to London without refueling. Beyond the civilian market, the type serves as the platform for several military and government variants, including the U.S. Navy's C-37B VIP transport and various signals intelligence and airborne early warning conversions operated by allied air forces.

Its reliability, global support network, and proven dispatch rate have cemented the G550's reputation as the gold standard in the large-cabin business jet category. SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators, with the largest observed operator.
