The Gulfstream G650 is the aircraft most Los Angeles requests default to when the trip is genuinely intercontinental and the schedule is not negotiable. Eleven to eighteen passengers, 7,000 nautical miles, 488 knots of cruise, and the widest Gulfstream cabin.
Gulfstream built the G650 with two Rolls-Royce BR725 engines, a swept wing tuned for high-speed cruise and a cabin wider and taller than the G550’s. Eleven to eighteen seats, 488 knots and 7,000 nautical miles of range. Full specifications for the Gulfstream G650 / G6 are published by Gulfstream Aerospace.

Why the Gulfstream G650 / G6 Fits Los Angeles
Seven thousand nautical miles is the longest reach on this site, and from Los Angeles that is what puts Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney and Dubai into the conversation as single legs rather than as itineraries. Payload, winds and the operator’s planning decide any specific nonstop, and we ask them to run the real date rather than quoting the maximum.
It is also the fastest aircraft in this category at 488 knots, which on a fourteen-hour Pacific crossing is measured in hours rather than minutes. For entertainment and finance clients running an international schedule out of Los Angeles, that is generally the reason the G650 wins over a Global 6000.
Demand for this type in Southern California is high and the fleet is finite, so awards season between January and March is when a G650 request most often comes back with limited options. Lead time is worth more here than on any other aircraft we arrange.

Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
