Heavy jets

Gulfstream GIV-SP

A 45 foot cabin for 13 to 14 people, a full galley and about 4,200 nautical miles of range. The Gulfstream GIV-SP is the heavy jet for a big group or a long leg, coast to coast with a full cabin and the Caribbean from anywhere on our corridor. Every one was built between 1992 and 2002, so it is offered only after the written exception review, and we tell you its year.

12 to 14 in the usual layouts; up to 19 on some

How we estimate bag counts

We allow 40 to 55% of the listed baggage volume for cases and 30 to 40% for golf bags, which pack poorly in nose and tail compartments. Assumed external dimensions: checked bag 28 × 20 × 12 in; golf travel bag 50 × 16 × 12 in; weekend bag 22 × 12 × 12 in. Counts are rounded down and show separate loads, not a combined allowance. Unspecified extra storage is excluded.

Volume estimates only. Bag shape, compartment doors, weight and fuel requirements determine the final fit. Tell us about mixed luggage, skis or bulky items.

What we review.

Read our standards →
  • The records, every time. Every GIV-SP predates the 2005 standard, so each gets the written exception review: the inspection program, the last heavy check, avionics and interior updates. You see it before you decide.
  • The cabin on the specific tail. A GIV-SP with a refreshed interior and current wifi flies like a much newer airplane; one without does not, and the photos on the quote show which you are getting.
  • The runway and the crew. It needs about 5,500 feet to take off on a standard day, so Naples and Destin need a look at the load. We check the crew's time on the type and the operator's international experience when the trip crosses a border.

Fair questions

Gulfstream GIV-SP questions.

Is a GIV-SP too old to charter?

Age alone is not the question; records, maintenance and the operator are. Our standard is 2005 or newer, and a GIV-SP is offered only after a written exception review, which we tell you about on the quote. If you would rather have a newer heavy jet, we show you one beside it.

How many people and bags fit?

Thirteen to fourteen in the usual layouts, with a club, a conference grouping and a divan. The baggage bay holds about 169 cubic feet and you can reach it in flight, so a week of bags for the group and golf clubs fit. Tell us the head count and the bags.
