About the Gulfstream Gulfstream G-IV
Of all the aircraft in this catalogue, one became a word. Through the late 1980s and the 1990s, "they flew in on a Gulfstream" entered the language as shorthand for having arrived — and the aircraft doing the flying, more often than not, was the G-IV. No business jet has ever been so thoroughly woven into the popular image of success, and the G-IV earned the role the hard way: by being the aircraft that visibly outclassed everything parked beside it.
Behind the silhouette was a genuine technological leap. The G-IV was among the very first business jets to fly an integrated electronic flight deck — replacing rows of mechanical instruments with a clean glass cockpit at a time when even airliners were mid-transition. That modernity, paired with 7,778 km of range, a 1,074 km/h cruise and seats for fourteen, let it fly the long intercontinental sectors at the front of the cabin and the front of the industry simultaneously.
At around €10,000 per flight hour, the G-IV today is the most accessible way to charter a full-size, true intercontinental Gulfstream. The cultural status it once carried has softened into something more useful for a charter client: a deep, well-supported fleet, honest pricing, and a cabin whose proportions still feel generous four decades after they reset expectations. The icon aged into the value play — and flies as well as ever.
Performance Excellence
Fourteen passengers, 7,778 km of range, 1,074 km/h cruise — and the technological signature that set the type apart in 1987: among the first business jets with an integrated electronic glass flight deck, a clean break from the mechanical cockpits of its rivals. Two Rolls-Royce Tay 611 engines deliver the thrust and the intercontinental reach, with a maintenance ecosystem matured across a long and deep production run. High service ceilings clear weather on the long oceanic routings the type was designed for. At roughly €10,000 per flight hour, the G-IV is the most accessible charter into a full-size intercontinental Gulfstream — an aircraft whose cabin and capability, four decades on, still read as flagship at a value price.
Cabin Comfort
The G-IV cabin was the one that taught the wider public what a private jet interior could be: long enough to walk, tall enough to stand, and divided into the distinct living areas that the camera loved and the era's films used as instant signifiers of power. Up to fourteen passengers travel across a forward club, a central conference and dining group, and an aft zone that converts for rest on the ocean sectors the type flies.
The image was real, and it has aged into substance. Most chartered G-IVs have been refurbished, sometimes repeatedly, so a current example pairs the airframe's famously generous original dimensions with present-day leather, lighting and connectivity. The galley handles genuine catering, lavatories serve both ends of the cabin, and the pressurisation keeps long sectors comfortable. What the G-IV interior offers a charter client is the rare combination of a space that still photographs like a flagship and prices like a sensible choice — a cabin that defined aspiration for a generation and now simply delivers it without the premium that aspiration usually carries.
High-speed WiFi keeps you connected throughout your flight, allowing you to work or stay in touch. A full galley enables fresh catering service during your journey. A private lavatory ensures comfort on longer flights.
