About the Gulfstream Gulfstream G-IVSP

The Gulfstream G-IV had already redefined the large-cabin business jet when Gulfstream introduced the G-IVSP — for Special Performance — in 1992. The structural changes were modest; the operational ones were substantial. Gulfstream raised the maximum takeoff weight by some 2,900 lb, allowing the airframe to carry significantly more fuel, and certified higher altitudes and improved hot-and-high performance. Range climbed to 7,778 km without changing the wing or engines. It carries 12 passengers (up to 14) at 1,039 km/h. Through the 1990s the SP became the default G-IV, and many earlier G-IVs were retrofitted to SP standards — the variant that owned the era.

Performance Excellence

Two crew take the G-IVSP across 7,778 km / 4,200 nm at up to 1,039 km/h (561 ktas), with the higher MTOW translating directly into the extra fuel that earns the longer range. Around 35 serve European charter at roughly €10,500 per hour. The G650 has long since taken the records, but for value the SP is the heavy charter sweet spot: the G-IV cabin with the legs to use it, at numbers a generation kinder than current Gulfstreams.

Cabin Comfort

The G-IVSP keeps the G-IV cabin that took business aviation a step ahead of its rivals — 13.41 m long, 2.24 m wide, 1.88 m tall — and gives it the range to use itself across any non-Pacific city pair. Twelve passengers spread comfortably across a forward club, a mid four-place and an aft three-place divan, with a galley sized for full meal service. The G-IV's signature oval windows remain among the largest of their generation, and the SP's structural changes are invisible from a seat — the cabin is the G-IV's, every meaningful inch of it.

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.
