A super midsize jet suits the longer New York trips that a midsize jet would only manage with a stop.
Gulfstream introduced the G280 in 2012. It seats 8 to 10 with a published range of 3,600 nautical miles and a cruise speed of 459 knots. The aircraft has a service ceiling of 45,000 feet, 154 cubic feet of baggage volume and an enclosed lavatory.

Why the Gulfstream G280 Fits New York
With 3,600 nautical miles of published range, it covers trips from New York to destinations such as Palm Beach, Cancun and San Francisco, allowing for reserves and routing. From roughly November through March, snow and de-icing can add time to a New York departure, so build a little slack into winter plans.
New York trips in this class usually leave from Teterboro, about eight miles from Midtown, or from Westchester County Airport in White Plains, depending on where you are starting from on the ground. Whether the aircraft can use a particular airport on your date is the operator’s call for that aircraft, its weight and the day’s weather, and your advisor will confirm it before anything is booked.
How New York Clients Use the Gulfstream G280
If a midsize jet would need a stop or would be full, a super midsize jet is usually the next step, and its larger cabin and baggage hold make a long day much easier.
