Annual Budget

The total annual budget for flying a Gulfstream G550 private jet 200 hours per year is approximately $1,665,068 or $2,588,136 for flying 400 hours per year. The maximum speed of the Gulfstream G550 is 670 mph, but with slower climb, cruise and descending speeds it is more likely to average 536 mph which would equate to an average cost per mile of approximately $15.53 at 200 hours per year. If you fly 400 hours per year, you can spread the total fixed costs over more flight hours which reduces your cost per mile to $12.07.
