The Gulfstream GIV-SP is a legacy heavy jet that continues to hold a respected place in the private aviation industry. Introduced as an enhanced version of the popular Gulfstream IV, the GIV-SP introduced new avionics, extended range, and improved efficiency, ensuring it remained a workhorse of the business aviation fleet for decades. Today, it remains in demand among those seeking a proven long-range aircraft with a spacious and comfortable cabin.
With capacity for up to 19 passengers and flexible interior layouts, the GIV-SP suits executive roadshows, VIP entourage travel, or family groups who need a blend of comfort and performance. At JetOptions, we arrange GIV-SP charters through certified operators, ensuring that each flight delivers both luxury and peace of mind. While newer Gulfstream models, such as the G450 and G550, offer upgraded features, the GIV-SP remains a cost-effective alternative for long-range trips worldwide.
The GIV-SP was designed with intercontinental travel in mind, offering the ability to cross oceans or fly coast-to-coast with ease. Its engines deliver consistent performance and efficiency, allowing for nonstop connections such as:
Certified to fly up to 45,000 feet, the jet can climb above weather systems and congested airways, providing smoother rides and fewer delays. This performance profile made the GIV-SP a favorite for corporations, celebrities, and government agencies that required both range and reliability. Even with newer Gulfstream aircraft available, the GIV-SP continues to offer excellent value for private flyers seeking a balance between cost and capability.
The GIV-SP’s cabin was ahead of its time when introduced and still provides a luxurious travel environment. Configurations can include private staterooms, conference areas, and open lounges. Large panoramic windows brighten the interior, while fresh-air circulation keeps the cabin environment comfortable on long flights.
Passengers enjoy spacious aisles, wide seating, and the flexibility to switch between business-focused layouts and leisure arrangements. These features make the GIV-SP adaptable for a wide variety of missions.
