Capabilities
Advanced Technology as Standard
Both Gulfstream platforms share world-leading avionics, safety systems, and comfort features that define ultra-long-range travel.
PlaneView™ II Flight Deck
Four 14-inch LCD displays, synthetic vision, dual HUD, and enhanced situational awareness for all weather and airspace operations.
Enhanced Vision System
Forward-looking FLIR cameras and EVS-II deliver clear runway imagery in low-visibility, significantly improving approach and landing safety.
Rolls-Royce Efficiency
BR710 and BR725 turbofans are optimised for long-range cruise, delivering competitive fuel burn and lower carbon output versus comparable jets.
High-Speed Connectivity
Ka-band satellite internet, full in-cabin Wi-Fi, and global satcom ensure seamless productivity across every intercontinental mission.
Predictive Safety Systems
TAWS, predictive windshear detection, TCAS II, and Gulfstream's Runway Overrun Prevention System provide multi-layered protection.
Full Galley & Wellness
Gourmet galley, flat-bed seating, and a 6 psi cabin pressure (equivalent to 4,000 ft) dramatically reduce fatigue on long-haul flights.
Sample Routes
Non-Stop from India & Beyond
Both aircraft eliminate fuel stops on major intercontinental routes, cutting journey time and maximising passenger comfort.
Range figures are indicative based on maximum published range at typical payloads. Actual range varies with winds, routing, fuel load, and passenger configuration. Safe Fly Aviation conducts route-specific performance analysis for every mission.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about chartering or acquiring a Gulfstream G550 or G650 with Safe Fly Aviation.
The Gulfstream G550 has a maximum range of 6,750 nautical miles (12,501 km). This enables non-stop routes such as Delhi–London or Mumbai–New York. Actual range is affected by payload, headwinds, and alternate fuel requirements for each routing.
The Gulfstream G650 has a maximum range of 7,000 nautical miles (12,964 km) — one of the longest ranges of any purpose-built business jet. It is capable of routes such as Delhi–Los Angeles or Delhi–São Paulo non-stop at a high-speed cruise of Mach 0.90.
The G650 offers 250 nm more range (7,000 vs 6,750 nm), a faster cruise (Mach 0.90 vs 0.87 / 531 vs 488 ktas), a wider cabin (8'2" vs 7'4"), four versus three cabin zones, and more powerful Rolls-Royce BR725 engines (16,900 vs 15,385 lbf). Acquisition cost is higher ($26M–$60M vs $10.5M–$33.5M), as is the hourly operating cost (~$550/hr more).

Both aircraft seat up to 19 passengers. Typical VIP charter layouts accommodate 12–16 with flat-bed seats, private dining, and dedicated lavatories. Overnight intercontinental layouts convert 8–10 seats to lie-flat beds for maximum rest.
The G650 is powered by two Rolls-Royce BR725 A1-12 engines, each producing 16,900 lbf of thrust. High-speed cruise is Mach 0.90 (531 ktas / 983 km/h) — among the fastest of any business jet. Long-range cruise is typically flown at Mach 0.85 to maximise range.
Yes. Safe Fly Aviation provides professional aircraft acquisition and sales brokerage. G550 market values range from $10.5M to $33.5M; G650 values range from $26M to $60M, depending on year, airframe hours, engine condition, and interior configuration. Contact us for a no-obligation market appraisal.
Yes. Delhi to London (VIDP–EGLL) is approximately 3,750 nm — well within the G550's 6,750 nm range. Delhi to New York JFK (approximately 6,710 nm) is achievable at standard passenger loads with favourable routings. Safe Fly Aviation conducts full flight planning, wind analysis, and permit coordination.
The G650 features Gulfstream PlaneView™ II — four 14-inch LCD displays, dual Head-Up Displays (HUD), Enhanced Vision System (EVS-II) with FLIR cameras, Synthetic Vision–PFD, TAWS, TCAS II, and Honeywell Primus EPIC avionics. The state of the art in business aviation flight technology.
