The Gulfstream G280 is the modern super-midsize choice for Puerto Rico from San Juan (SJU), seating 8 to 10 with 3,600 nautical miles of range and strong short-field manners. It links SJU to the entire US mainland and northern South America nonstop. The refined successor to the G200.
Gulfstream introduced the G280 in 2012 with a new wing, quieter cabin, and better runway performance than the G200. It cruises near 459 knots at up to 45,000 feet with class-leading efficiency.

Why the Gulfstream G280 Fits Puerto Rico
From Puerto Rico the G280 fits clients who want current-generation systems and a quiet cabin on transcontinental legs: San Juan to the West Coast or the northern US nonstop. It improves on the G200 in range, cabin, and field performance.
For most super-midsize trips out of SJU it balances speed, range, and comfort better than the older G200.
