Gulfstream G600: Aircraft Briefing and Buyer's Guide
The Short Version
The G600 serves long intercontinental missions with a published 6,600 NM range at Mach 0.85. Its Symmetry flight deck and configurable cabin make it a useful alternative to the Global 6500. Choose it around the actual passenger layout, operating base and recurring routes. Pre-owned acquisition requires a current comparable-aircraft set, including maintenance status and program coverage.

What Makes the G600 Different
1. Speed and reach
Gulfstream publishes 5,600 NM at Mach 0.90 as well as the 6,600 NM long-range figure. Evaluate trip time and payload together.
2. Cabin configuration
Check the actual galley, crew rest and seating. Maximum seats and sleeping capacity describe available layouts rather than every aircraft.

What It Costs to Own and Operate
Acquisition (Pre-Owned)
The Pre-Owned Market Right Now
Market research reviewed October 8, 2026. Figures below retain their source dates and measurement basis.
Market snapshot: September 30, 2026, reviewed October 8. Hagerty’s Q3 report lists G600 asking prices of $45M–$58M and recent transactions of $44M–$54M. These are aggregate ranges, not an appraisal of a particular airframe.
JetsIntel's September 2026 market database tracks 9 G600 aircraft; this is a different source population from the broker report and is not an extra count to add to it.
Holstein's comparative snapshot, with model sales dates through August 2026, gives 5 months of absorption for the G600. This offers a separate measure of listed supply relative to its observed trading pace.
Our reading: use the dated G600-specific offers as the acquisition reference and compare aircraft of similar vintage. A seller's advertised figure establishes an offer level, while the supply and sales measures help assess how much alternative inventory a buyer may have.

What to Watch For When Buying
1. Maintenance and programs
Verify upcoming inspections, engine coverage transfer, warranties and any exclusions. Include immediate work and downtime in the acquisition budget.
2. Mission and cabin review
Have the operator evaluate realistic payload, winds, reserves and runway conditions; inspect the installed seating and crew-rest layout.
