Index ≈ ×1.08 to ×1.33 on the aircraft value, already with ferry, ANAC nationalization, IPI and ICMS.
Market estimate: value + ferry + ANAC nationalization + taxes, no legal review. II, PIS and COFINS are 0% for aircraft (NCM 88.02); IPI is 6.5% (3.25% for air taxi) until Dec 31, 2026; ~4% ICMS only through a qualified importer (Agreement 75/91).
Operate = direct cost/hour (fuel + maintenance + engine); excludes fixed costs (hangar, crew, insurance). World: hourly rate published by charter operators. Brazil: charter is quoted per leg, so the hourly figure is an estimate from route quotes.

The Gulfstream G280 is Gulfstream's super-midsize jet, in production since 2012. The catalog figures are 3,600 nm of range, a cruise speed of 482 kt, a ceiling of 45,000 ft, and a maximum takeoff weight of 17,962 kg, with 8 passengers in typical configuration and up to 10 seats. In Brazil, the ICAO code GA5C organizes the search for the registered fleet and approved maintenance shops. On this page you will find the technical specifications, the estimated operating cost per flight hour, and comparables in the used market.
How much runway the Gulfstream G280 needs to dispatch: the manual figure and what the charter (RBAC 135) rule requires.
Dispatches under charter rules at 220 of 465 Brazilian public runways when dry, and at 144 when wet.
Verdict per regime (private, charter dry and wet) across 465 Brazilian public runways, with the margin in meters.
Starter feature. Available on your Jet Tracker account.
Manufacturer-published distances at sea level, ISA and reference weight. Not corrected for altitude, temperature, wind or runway condition, takeoff included. Uses the declared LDA as a proxy for effective runway length (RBAC 135.361) and the most favourable threshold in calm air (135.385(b)(1)): on the day, wind may force the shorter threshold. Destination only: does not assess the alternate aerodrome (135.387). Not a substitute for the AFM or the operator's performance analysis. Rule: RBAC 135.385 and 135.398; private flying (RBAC 91) is not factored. Runways: declared distance (LDA) from AISWEB/DECEA (2026-09-05), checkable on each aerodrome chart; where DECEA publishes no declared distance, physical length from OurAirports is used.
Typical factory configuration (curated data). The drawing below is schematic and at approximate scale; the actual layout varies by interior and year.
Announced as the G250 in 2008 and renamed the G280 in 2010 (because, according to AOPA, the number 250 in Mandarin can mean foolish or imbecile, which could limit sales in Asia). Manufactured entirely by Israel Aerospace Industries in Tel Aviv, with interiors and completion at Gulfstream Dallas (Texas). EIS in November 2012.
Although it inherits the G200's widebody fuselage, the G280's wing is completely new: optimized sweep, larger span, raked wingtips instead of conventional winglets. The result: 600 nm more range and 25% better specific fuel consumption. HTF7250G engines (a variant of the Challenger 300's HTF7000) deliver 7,624 lbf each.
The Gulfstream G280 is a super-midsize jet for up to 10 passengers with a 3,600 nm range, in production since 2012. The up-to-date RAB-ANAC registration count is in the Brazil Fleet section of this page, and the breakdown by status (operational, registration-mark reservation, suspended) is in the model's Analytics.
In a release dated 4 Sep 2012, Gulfstream announced that the G280 had received its type certificates from the FAA and the Civil Aviation Authority of Israel, one of the last steps before delivering the first fully outfitted aircraft to a customer. According to the EASA type certificate data sheet (TCDS EASA.IM.A.348, issue 06, of 26 May 2025), the type certificate from Israel, the state of design, dates from 30 Aug 2012, and the EASA certificate from 7 Feb 2013. In the same release, the manufacturer gave the G280 a range of 3,600 nm at Mach 0.80 and expected the first delivery before the end of that year.
New, the G280 costs US$25 million typically equipped (B&CA Purchase Planning Handbook, Q1 2026). The pre-owned median and open listings, kept up to date, are in the price card and the For sale now card of this page.

3,600 nm with NBAA IFR reserves, more than the Challenger 350 (3,200 nm) and Citation Longitude (3,500 nm); the Praetor 600 claims 4,018 nm. The G280 covers Teterboro-São Paulo, Geneva-Beijing or Hong Kong-Sydney non-stop, territory previously reserved for heavy jets.
120 ft³ of pressurized baggage space, accessible in flight, above the Challenger 300 (106 ft³) and Citation X (82 ft³) and below the Falcon 2000 (134 ft³). Critical for long missions with cargo, golf equipment, skis or business equipment.
Cruise sound insulation of 47 dB is the quietest in the super-midsize class, vs. 49 dB for the Challenger 350, 50 dB for the Praetor 600, and 52 dB for the Citation Longitude. The sound experience is comparable to the G500/G550 heavy jets, a legacy of Gulfstream's acoustic engineering.
Although Gulfstream is focused on large/ultra-long-range aircraft (G700, G800), the G280 keeps strong production with a backlog of 12+ months in 2024. Equipped price of USD 25M (B&CA, Mar/2026), but pre-owned G280s from 2018-2020 are extremely rare, and the vast majority of owners keep the aircraft for 10+ years.

5 operational aircraft owned by companies in the ANAC registry (RAB). Each opens the profile with owner, operator, status and history.
A new Gulfstream G280 costs about US$ 25.0M equipped, per B&CA Purchase Planning Handbook Q1 2026 (Aviation Week). On the used market the value varies with year and flight hours; see real listings on this model's Market tab. Reference value as of 03/2026.
The maximum range is 3600 nm (3,600 NM · 6,667 km).
Cruise speed is 482 kt, equivalent to 893 km/h, or Mach 0.85.
The Gulfstream G280 seats up to 10 passengers, crew not included.
There are 19 active units in the RAB-ANAC (data as of 11/10/2026): operational, mark reservation or suspended, excluding cancelled registrations.
12 distinct operators operate 12 units of the Gulfstream G280 in the RAB-ANAC: 12 in private operation (RBAC 91), concentrated in SP, PR and MG (data as of 11/10/2026). Another 5 units are under registration reservation (tail number reserved, not yet operating). Not included in that count: 2 units with no operating class in the RAB. Name, fleet and state of each operator are on this model's Analytics tab and in the operators directory.
Jet Tracker estimate: about US$ 8,001 per flight hour at 200 h/year, of which US$ 4,281 per hour is variable cost (fuel, engine program, maintenance reserves) plus US$ 744,000 per year of fixed cost (crew, hangar, insurance), under Jet Tracker's default assumptions (Southeast Brazil, in-house crew, 200 h/year).
