The Gulfstream G600 is a large-cabin, long-range jet that steps up from the G500 in both range and cabin size — sharing Gulfstream's Symmetry flight deck and signature comfort while reaching farther, for owners flying the longest business routes short of the ultra-long-range flagships.
Key takeaways
- Longer-range large-cabin Gulfstream above the G500.
- ~6,600 nm range on Pratt & Whitney PW815GA engines.
- Symmetry flight deck with active-control sidesticks.
- Larger cabin than the G500 for the longest days.
About the Gulfstream G600
The G600 pairs Pratt & Whitney PW815GA engines with a larger cabin and a range around 6,600 nautical miles — enough to connect intercontinental city pairs nonstop with Gulfstream's signature low cabin altitude and refinement.
It shares the G500's Symmetry flight deck (active-control sidesticks, touchscreens) but adds range and cabin volume, slotting between the G500 and the ultra-long-range G650ER/G700. For flight departments needing more reach than a G500 without the largest flagships, it's the natural choice.
As a large-cabin jet, the G600 is professionally crewed and managed, and financing is a bespoke, balance-sheet-driven transaction with strong resale supporting value.
Ownership Considerations
- Fuel: the PW815GA engines burn roughly 380–450 gallons of Jet-A per hour depending on phase.
- Engine program: P&W program enrollment supports value and financing.
- Two-crew jet, professionally operated and managed.
- Maintenance: Gulfstream support; substantial scheduled events.
- Insurance: large-jet premiums; professional crew and management.
What to Check When Buying a Gulfstream G600
On a G600, confirm Pratt & Whitney engine-program enrollment, review the Symmetry flight-deck and avionics currency, check the status of major inspections, damage/corrosion history, and a clean, transparent title. Use a Gulfstream-authorized facility for the pre-buy and document professional crewing and management.
Financing a Gulfstream G600
The G600 finances as a large-cabin jet on a bespoke, balance-sheet basis through specialized lenders, typically 15–20% down with a structured or balloon loan and engine-program coverage. Professional crewing and management are expected; corporate use may be underwritten on cash flow.
