Ultra-long-range jet.

What does Ultra-long-range jet mean in practice?

Ultra-long-range jets exist to link city pairs such as London to Los Angeles, New York to Tokyo or Dubai to New York without a fuel stop.

The Gulfstream G700 seats up to 19, cruises at Mach 0.90 with a maximum of Mach 0.935, and offers up to five living areas. Cabins on this class typically include a dedicated bedroom or convertible divan, a crew rest area, a full galley and two lavatories, and flights carry a cabin attendant. The trade-offs are cost and availability. Hourly rates are far above light and midsize jets, positioning sectors are long and expensive, and the fleet is small, so short-notice availability is limited. Empty legs on ultra-long-range jets do occur, often after one-way intercontinental trips, and the discounts can be substantial in absolute terms. Confirm the aircraft's real range with your passenger count, since the published figure assumes a light load.
