The Gulfstream G500 replaced the G450 as Gulfstream’s mid-tier long-range option and it fits Orlando’s executive travel demand well: sixteen seats in a three-zone cabin, fly-by-wire controls, and around 5,200 nautical miles of range for coast-to-coast and transatlantic trips departing from KORL.
Gulfstream built the G500 as a replacement for the G450, with Pratt and Whitney Canada PW814GA engines and a new fly-by-wire flight control system. Sixteen seats in a three-zone cabin, range around 5,200 nautical miles. The aircraft entered service in 2018 and shares a common type rating with the G600, simplifying crew certification across operators flying both types.

Why the Gulfstream G500 Fits Orlando
Corporate travel out of Orlando frequently runs to New York, Los Angeles, London, and Miami, sometimes in the same week. The G500 covers coast-to-coast and most transatlantic routes nonstop with a cabin organized into zones, so passengers can spread out on long legs. It operates from KORL, keeping the FBO experience intact.
The G500 is a newer airframe, which means the available fleet skews toward well-maintained, late-model aircraft. For clients who prefer a newer platform with current avionics and fly-by-wire handling characteristics, it competes directly with the Falcon 7X and the Global 5000 in this tier.

- 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; reports may be provided on request.
- 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.
