Why Consider

The G400 is Gulfstream's first new large-cabin entry in a decade, slotting between the G280 and G500 with 4,200 nm at Mach 0.85 and the largest cabin in its class—same 7 ft 7 in cross-section as the G500 with ten panoramic oval windows. First deliveries are scheduled for 2026, making it the freshest airframe in the segment.

Key Features

Range 4,200nm at M0.85 | Largest cabin in class (up to 2.5 living areas) | Symmetry Flight Deck | 10 panoramic windows | Cabin altitude 3,255 ft at FL410 | 29% more fuel-efficient than G450 | Seats up to 12

Total Cost of Ownership

Fixed costs: two-pilot crew approximately $650–780K, hangar approximately $150K, insurance $110–150K. Variable: fuel approximately 420 GPH (~$2,320/hr US Jet-A). Pratt & Whitney ESP for PW812GA: approximately $750–880/engine/flight hour. Total annual cost at 300 hrs: $2.4–3.1M.

Charter Rates

Charter rates: projected $9,000–$13,000/hr once fleet supply develops. Early examples will be predominantly owner-flown; charter availability expected to remain scarce through 2027–2028, supporting premium rates.

Ideal Missions

Ideal for principals flying Geneva–New York or São Paulo–Miami nonstop who want G500-class cabin comfort and Gulfstream residuals at a ~$35M entry point.

Market Intelligence

Engine & Maintenance Programs

2× Pratt & Whitney PW812GA (13,496 lbf each). P&W ESP coverage available from delivery; the PW812GA shares the PW800 core family with the G500/G600 powerplants, supporting parts commonality and service network depth from day one.

Pre-owned Market

No pre-owned market yet—first customer deliveries begin in 2026. Early delivery positions historically trade at premiums for in-demand Gulfstream types; buyers seeking near-term value in this range should also evaluate late-model G450s ($13–18M) and early G500s ($34–38M).

Runway & Airport Access

Minimum runway: 1,524 m (5,000 ft) at MTOW. Teterboro (KTEB), Farnborough (EGLF), Geneva (LSGG), Le Bourget (LFPB): accessible. Field performance comparable to the G500, better than legacy G450.
