The G280 trades a few inches of cabin width against the Challenger 350 for meaningfully more range and the fastest cruise speed in its category at 482 knots. A 3,600 nautical mile range means routes like Teterboro–Geneva or a westbound Atlantic crossing with a technical fuel stop are realistic without stepping up to a heavy jet.
Gulfstream’s flight-deck and cabin engineering carry over from the larger G-series aircraft, which shows in a notably smooth ride at altitude and a low cabin pressurization altitude that reduces fatigue on longer legs — the detail frequent long-haul flyers notice most on arrival.
