GULFSTREAM G200
Gulfstream G200 for Sale: 3,300 nm of Range, a 7-Foot Cabin
The 1999 Galaxy That Started It All
The G200 started as the Galaxy business jet and entered service in 1999. Gulfstream acquired the Galaxy Aerospace program in 2001 and renamed the aircraft G200. That gave Gulfstream a super-midsize jet and a place in a market where its earlier product line had been focused on larger aircraft.

The final G200 left the production line on December 19, 2011. A total of 250 aircraft were built.

The idea behind the G200 was straightforward. Give passengers a wide, stand-up cabin and enough fuel for serious business travel, while keeping the aircraft smaller than the large-cabin Gulfstreams.
Specifications That Built a Brand
  • Range: 6,297 km (3,400 nm): transatlantic with reserves;
  • Speed: 850 km/h (459 knots) - Mach 0.85 maximum;
  • Capacity: 8 - 10 passengers in the stand - up cabin;
  • Engines: Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306A (6,040 lbf) - reliable, proven;
  • Production: 250 aircraft between 1999 and 2011;
  • The two PW306A engines are rated at 6,040 pounds of thrust each;
  • Cabin width: 7 feet. Cabin height: 6 feet 3 inches. Cabin length: 24 feet 6 inches;
  • Maximum takeoff weight is 35,450 pounds.
Three Things Worth Knowing
  • The original cockpit is from another generation:
Standard avionics included Collins Pro Line 4. That was a capable system for its time, and current aircraft can be found with upgrades and additional equipment, but the exact panel matters when comparing two G200s.
I would look at the actual avionics list rather than assume every G200 is equipped the same way. Current listings show aircraft with equipment such as FANS 1/A, CPDLC, ADS-B, Wi-Fi and other upgrades.

  • Engine status can change the buying decision:
PW306A engines are common to the type, but their maintenance position is not the same on every aircraft. Some G200s are enrolled in Pratt & Whitney Canada engine programs, including ESP-based coverage.
That is a major point when comparing two aircraft that look similar in an advertisement. Engine hours, cycles, program status and upcoming maintenance can have a direct effect on the economics of the purchase.
Records matter.

  • The range number needs context:
A published 3,400 nm figure sounds simple. The actual trip depends on passengers, fuel, weather, routing and reserves.
Take an eight-passenger trip of around 2,500 nm. That is much closer to the kind of mission where the G200's range becomes useful. Add strong winds or a heavier payload and the fuel calculation becomes more important.
Gulfstream G200 Competitors
Challenger 300 for sale / Range: Around 3,200 nautical miles in published comparisons / Passengers: Around 8 to 10 in common configurations.
The Challenger 300 is probably one of the first aircraft I would put beside a G200. Its cabin is also 7.2 feet wide, while the cabin is longer at about 28.3 feet. The G200 counters with 150 cubic feet of baggage capacity in published data.
For a buyer who wants a newer-generation platform and a long cabin, the Challenger deserves a close look. The G200 becomes more interesting when cabin width, baggage space and the condition of a specific used aircraft drive the decision.

Citation Sovereign for sale / Range: Published figures are around 3,200 nautical miles / Passengers: 8 to 9.
The Sovereign+ has a 5-foot 8-inch-wide cabin. The G200 gives you a full 7 feet.
That is a noticeable difference for passengers sitting three across.

Citation X for sale / Range: Around 2,890 nautical miles in the Global Charter comparison / Passengers: 8 to 9.
The Citation X is the speed choice. Its published maximum cruise speed is 525 knots, well above the G200's 459 to 470-knot figures in current comparison data. Its cabin is much narrower at 5 feet 8 inches.
If travel time is the priority, the Citation X has the stronger argument. If cabin width is high on the list, the G200 looks different.

Falcon 50EX for sale / Range: Around 3,450 nautical miles in the Global Charter data / Passengers: 8 to 9.
The Falcon 50EX has similar long-range ambitions, but it uses three engines and has a 6-foot 2-inch-wide cabin. The G200 uses two engines and gives passengers a seven-foot-wide cabin.
This is a useful comparison for someone who values range but wants a two-engine layout and more cabin width.
The Verdict
The G200 is a good fit for an owner who wants a wide, stand-up cabin, substantial baggage space and roughly 3,300 nm of practical published range with a light passenger load.

Its biggest strength is the cabin-to-mission balance. Its biggest concern is age. The avionics, engine program and maintenance history of the individual aircraft can change the buying decision quickly.

If the mission is around eight passengers and 2,500 nm, I would put the G200 on the shortlist and start with the records, engine status and actual avionics configuration.
