The Gulfstream G280 is the 2012 successor to the G200 and one of the most current super midsize jets in the Naples market. From APF’s 6,600-foot main runway, the G280 flies every Northeast, Midwest, and Canadian snowbird origin nonstop with a full cabin, plus Aspen, Denver, and West Coast pairings with margin.
Gulfstream certified the G280 in 2012 as a redesigned super midsize with new wing, Honeywell HTF7250G engines, and Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics. Seats 8 to 10, cruises at 459 knots to 45,000 feet, delivers 3,600 nautical miles of range, and carries 154 cubic feet of baggage total (120 external plus 34 internal). Enclosed lavatory.

Why the Gulfstream G280 Fits Naples
Range at 3,600 nautical miles is the longest in the super midsize category (marginally ahead of the Citation Longitude). Practical for APF to Seattle (BFI) nonstop, APF to London (EGGW) via a single tech stop with a full cabin, and every snowbird pairing with reserves to spare.
Baggage at 154 cubic feet total is the largest in the super midsize category. For a Naples family with clubs, tennis gear, and a season’s clothes, the G280 does not require manifest math.
APF is comfortable for the G280 on any typical day. Cabin cross-section preserves the wide-cabin feel of the Gulfstream family; a client stepping down from a G450 or G550 will find the G280 delivers most of the cabin comfort at super midsize hourly rates.

- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates; reports may be provided on request.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
