Charter a Gulfstream G300

The Gulfstream G300 is a large-cabin mid-range business jet delivered by Gulfstream Aerospace from August 2003, powered by two Rolls-Royce Tay 611-8C engines with FADEC electronic engine control. It occupies a specific position in Gulfstream's product history as a transitional model between the GIV-SP and the G400, produced in limited numbers - approximately 21 aircraft were delivered between 2003 and 2005 before production transitioned to the G400. For the charter market this means G300 availability is genuinely limited, and examples that are available typically offer Gulfstream's renowned cabin standards at rates below the G400 and G450.

The cabin at 12.29 m long, 2.24 m wide and 1.88 m high accommodates up to 13 passengers in a standard configuration or 10 in a VIP layout. Satellite communications, FADEC-equipped engines for fuel efficiency and the Gulfstream cabin acoustic standard are all present. With 3,640 nm (6,738 km) range the G300 covers Chicago to London non-stop, London to Dubai non-stop and reaches most of Sub-Saharan Africa with one fuel stop. Charter prices start from approximately £4,200 per flight hour. See our full fleet at the private jet price guide or browse our complete fleet.

Why charter the G300?

• Gulfstream large-cabin quality at below-G400 rates. The G300 delivers the Gulfstream cabin standard - the 12.29 m interior, the acoustic treatment, the FADEC-equipped Rolls-Royce Tay engines - at charter rates that typically run 10 to 20% below the G400. For clients who know the Gulfstream family and want the large-cabin experience at a lower price on missions within 3,640 nm, this is the direct value proposition;
• 3,640 nm range - London to Dubai and the Gulf non-stop. The range covers London to Dubai (approximately 2,950 nm), London to Riyadh, London to Mumbai and London to New York via a fuel stop. Chicago to London non-stop was the Gulfstream demonstration route at launch. For clients on UK to Gulf and intercontinental missions, the range is practical and competitive;
• FADEC-equipped Rolls-Royce Tay 611-8C engines. Full Authority Digital Engine Control provides optimised fuel consumption and reduced operating costs compared to earlier non-FADEC engine variants. The Tay engine family has an extensive service record across both business aviation and commercial operations;
• Up to 13 passengers in standard configuration. The 12.29 m cabin accommodates 13 passengers in a standard layout or 10 in VIP configuration. For groups requiring a large-cabin Gulfstream on a budget, the G300 provides the capacity without the G400 or G450 rate premium;
• Satellite communications throughout. Satellite phone and communications capability as standard - a feature consistent with Gulfstream's cabin specification across the family and relevant on the longer sectors this aircraft's range enables;
• A rare aircraft with established Gulfstream credentials. With approximately 21 examples produced, the G300 is not a common charter option. Availability through Private Jets UK gives clients access to a specific Gulfstream variant that most operators do not list.

Charter cost - G300 prices from UK airports

Hourly rates run from approximately £4,200 to £5,000 - below the G400 and G450, reflecting the earlier production vintage and limited fleet size. For clients on UK to Gulf, transatlantic and long-haul European missions who want Gulfstream cabin standards at a lower total cost, the G300 is the most accessible entry point in the large-cabin Gulfstream charter market.

Indicative one-way prices from UK airports:

• London to Dubai - from £28,000 (10 passengers, non-stop, approximately 6 hours 45 minutes);
• London to New York - from £40,000 (10 passengers, one fuel stop, approximately 9 hours total);
• London to Geneva - from £8,000 (10 passengers, approximately 1 hour 20 minutes);
• London to Athens - from £18,000 (10 passengers, approximately 3 hours 20 minutes);
• London to Nairobi - from £38,000 (10 passengers, one fuel stop, approximately 10 hours total);
• Manchester to Istanbul - from £19,000 (10 passengers, approximately 3 hours 30 minutes);

Ideal routes for the G300

It performs best on missions where Gulfstream large-cabin standards are the priority and the rate premium of a G400 or G450 is not justified by the specific mission profile:

• UK to Gulf non-stop (6 to 7 hours). Dubai, Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Doha and Kuwait City are all within range from UK airports. The 12.29 m large cabin is well matched to 6 to 7 hour Gulf sectors where groups of 8 to 10 need working, dining and rest space across the flight;
• UK to North America (one stop). New York, Toronto, Boston and Chicago require one fuel stop from UK airports. The Chicago to London non-stop capability in the opposite direction was the Gulfstream launch demonstration. For transatlantic groups of 10 who want the large Gulfstream cabin at rates below the G450, this is a competitive option;
• Large group European travel (2 to 4 hours). For groups of 10 to 13 passengers on European sectors, the G300 provides Gulfstream large-cabin comfort at competitive rates. The cabin length of 12.29 m gives significantly more space than any super-midsize jet on these sectors;
• UK to East Africa (one stop). Nairobi, Dar es Salaam, Addis Ababa with one fuel stop. The range handles Sub-Saharan African destinations efficiently from UK airports. FADEC engine management reduces operational costs on longer multi-leg missions;
• Value-focused Gulfstream clients. Corporate flight departments and frequent charter clients who know the Gulfstream cabin well and specifically want the large-cabin experience at lower rates than the current G400 and G450 fleet commands.

Cabin and in-flight experience

This aircraft cabin measures 12.29 m long, 2.24 m wide and 1.88 m high - a large-cabin Gulfstream interior with the acoustic treatment, satellite communications and material specification consistent with the broader Gulfstream family. The standard 13-passenger configuration uses a combination of club seating, a sofa and individual seats. The VIP layout reduces capacity to 10 passengers and creates more generous individual space with conference and dining capability throughout the cabin.

The Rolls-Royce Tay 611-8C engines with FADEC contribute to a quieter cruise environment - the Tay family is known for low noise output relative to its thrust class, and this carries through to cabin acoustic quality on longer sectors. Satellite communications are fitted as standard. The cabin specification reflects Gulfstream's design standards for this period, with styling consistent with the GIV-SP and early G400 production.

• Seating. 10 passengers in VIP configuration; 13 in standard layout;
• Engines. Rolls-Royce Tay 611-8C with FADEC - fuel-efficient, low noise;
• Communications. Satellite phone standard;
• Entertainment. Cabin entertainment system; Wi-Fi varies by operator - confirm at booking;
• Galley. Full galley with hot meal service;
• Lavatory. Private enclosed lavatory aft.

Technical specifications

G300 vs similar aircraft

• G300 vs Gulfstream G400. The G400 is the successor with improved avionics, updated cabin specification and marginally greater range. Charter rates for the G400 run approximately 10 to 20% higher. The cabin dimensions are essentially similar. For clients who know the Gulfstream cabin and are comfortable with the 2003-2005 production vintage in exchange for a lower charter rate, the G300 delivers the same fundamental experience;
• G300 vs Challenger 605. The 605 has a wider cabin (2.49 m vs 2.24 m), similar range (4,000 nm vs 3,640 nm) and charter rates broadly comparable to the G300. Both are large-cabin jets with transatlantic range. The Challenger 605 advantage is the wider fuselage; the advantage here is the Gulfstream acoustic standard and the Rolls-Royce Tay engine heritage. For clients with a preference for either manufacturer, both are appropriate;
• G300 vs Global Express XRS. The XRS has significantly greater range (6,150 nm vs 3,640 nm) and a longer cabin (14.7 m vs 12.29 m) with three zones. Charter rates for the XRS run approximately 30 to 40% higher. For missions within 3,640 nm the G300 provides a Gulfstream large-cabin experience at a substantially lower total cost.
