The Gulfstream G280 is the current-production successor to the G200, extending range to 3,600 nautical miles and bringing a redesigned avionics suite and improved fuel economy to a platform that Dallas charter clients already know from the G200’s long track record. DFW super midsize clients who want a current-production Gulfstream without the heavy jet rate will find the G280 covers every major US corridor and reaches into the Caribbean.
Gulfstream developed the G280 as a clean-sheet redesign of the G200 platform, introducing a new wing, Honeywell HTF7250G engines, and Gulfstream’s PlaneView II avionics. The cabin seats 8 to 10 passengers with a stand-up flat floor and improved noise insulation over its predecessor. Range is 3,600 nautical miles. It entered service in 2012. Full specifications for the Gulfstream G280 are published by Gulfstream Aerospace.

Why the Gulfstream G280 Fits Dallas
At 3,600 nautical miles, the Gulfstream G280 is the longest-range super midsize jet on this list from Dallas, surpassing the Challenger 350 by 400 nautical miles and the Citation Longitude by 100 nautical miles. From KADS, that range reaches nonstop to every Caribbean island, every Mexican destination, and the Canadian Maritimes without the trip becoming a range question. For DFW clients who routinely ask about nonstop capability, the G280 removes that conversation on more routings than any other aircraft in this category.
The G280’s PlaneView II avionics and modern glass cockpit are the biggest operational upgrade over the G200. For a Dallas corporate client who specifies current avionics and onboard connectivity for productivity on long legs, the G280 is the current-production answer in the Gulfstream super midsize line without stepping to the G450 or G500 and the associated rate increase.
Dallas to Mexico City at 865 nautical miles and Dallas to Monterrey at 580 nautical miles are easy missions for the G280, but the aircraft’s range advantage shows most clearly on the longer Caribbean and transatlantic positioning legs. For a DFW oil and gas executive managing a multi-leg week across Mexico, the Caribbean, and East Coast US, the G280 covers the full pattern on one aircraft type.
