Which should you charter?

Pick the Global 6000 if you need the extra 3,080 km (1,663 nm) of range, headroom matters (the cabin is 3 cm taller), you want more room to spread out (the cabin is 1.9 m longer) and you want a wider cabin (25 cm more across).

On paper the Gulfstream GIV-SP does not lead on any of the figures above. Pick it when one is based closer to your departure airport, which cuts positioning cost and often the total price.

The Gulfstream GIV-SP is estimated at $8,800/hr against $13,000/hr for the Global 6000, about $4,200 less per hour. Charters are billed by flight time, so the faster Global 6000 saves about 4 minutes per 1,000 km flown. Real quotes depend on the operator, the aircraft's age and how far it has to fly to reach you.

Example trip: the Global 6000 can fly London (LTN) to Miami (OPF) nonstop, 7,098 km. The Gulfstream GIV-SP would need a fuel stop on that route.

Nonstop means within 90% of published range, before winds, payload and fuel reserves; the operator confirms each route.
