The Gulfstream G280 is a super-midsize business jet developed by Gulfstream Aerospace, a subsidiary of General Dynamics. It was originally conceived as a joint venture with Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) under the designation Galaxy and later the G250, before Gulfstream took full control of development and rebranded it the G280. The aircraft seats up to 10 passengers and is designed to operate from shorter runways while still offering transcontinental range. It features an advanced flight deck with Honeywell Primus Epic avionics and a stand-up cabin with a flat floor, making it highly competitive in the super-midsize segment. The G280 entered service in 2012 and has been well received for its fuel efficiency, performance, and cabin comfort. It remains in production and competes with aircraft such as the Bombardier Challenger 350 and the Cessna Citation Longitude.
