Overview
The Gulfstream G650ER is arguably the most iconic business jet of the 21st century. Launched in 2014 as an extended-range variant of the G650, it offers a range of 13,890 km — sufficient to connect virtually any two cities on Earth nonstop. When it first entered service, demand was so high that pre-owned G650s traded at premiums above their new list price.
With a maximum speed of Mach 0.925, the G650ER is one of the fastest civil aircraft in the world. Its combination of speed, range, cabin volume, and Gulfstream's signature low cabin altitude has made it the default choice for heads of state, Fortune 500 CEOs, and ultra-high-net-worth individuals who demand the very best in business aviation.

Cabin Layout
The G650ER cabin at 2.49 m wide and 14.34 m long provides up to four living areas: forward galley and crew rest, conference/dining area, mid-cabin lounge, and aft private suite with divan or berthing options. The cabin altitude at FL510 is approximately 1,219 m — equivalent to standing on a low hill — ensuring passengers arrive rested even after 14+ hour flights.
Sixteen panoramic oval windows (the largest in business aviation) and a cabin width exceeding 2.49 m create an unparalleled sense of space. The 100% fresh air system replaces all cabin air every 2 minutes.
