The Gulfrstream is perhaps the most recognizable and popular form of luxury aircraft on the market, but the company has surprisingly humble US roots.
Instead of flying commercial, stuffed in a skinny tube with hundreds of other people, a child kicking your seat, and that one person who insists on watching YouTube at full volume with no headphones, imagine flying in the lap of luxury on a Gulfstream jet instead. You can expect comfortable seats, full-size bathrooms, and gourmet meals. Sounds nice, right?
Sadly, unless you work in the C-suite of a large corporation or have a high-level government job (or are just fabulously wealthy), you’ve probably never stepped foot on a Gulfstream. Known as the pinnacle of private air travel, these jets offer more than long-range flight. Highly customizable, the cabins are designed to be quiet, comfortable, and luxurious. They offer cutting-edge technology and incredible range and speed, with the Gulfstream G800 able to fly 8,200 nautical miles.
Gulfstream traces its roots back to Grumman Aerospace, which sought to develop a business turboprop in the wake of World War II.
