What a Gulfstream G550 costs
Indicative mid-2026 market figures. Approximate — not an appraisal of any individual aircraft.
Pre-owned, typical ask
$14–25 million

Variable cost per hour
$4,200–6,000
fuel, maintenance reserves, crew trip costs
Operating a Gulfstream G550 costs approximately $4,200–6,000 per flight hour in variable costs — fuel, maintenance reserves, engine programme and crew trip expenses. Fuel alone accounts for roughly $2,665 of that: 410 gallons of Jet-A an hour at $6.50 a gallon. Fixed ownership costs (hangarage, insurance, salaried crew, depreciation) sit on top and roughly double the annual bill.
Acquisition prices are manufacturer list prices for models still in production and typical pre-owned asking ranges otherwise. Hourly figures are variable direct operating cost only; fixed ownership costs are excluded.
