Risk Areas
The hardest Gulfstream aircraft to insure are old G-II.s or G-II.Is that are trying to get pilot warranties that don’t require both pilots to complete annual training in the same make and model. Also another hard market of the industry is getting pilots over 72 years old approved. Underwriters will want to know what the exit plan is for any pilots over 70 years old to eventually be phased out.

Aircraft Summary
Gulfstream is one of the most iconic corporate jets in the world, capable of flying non-stop in luxury almost anywhere except warzones. The newest models, G800. and G700., have been raced in a range and speed that can reach 8000 and 7500 respectively. The expected cost for the new brand, G800., is around $80,000,000, which typically limits liability to a value of $300 per million occurrences.
The overall cost of the insurance accounts for approximately 70% of the value of the hull. The remaining 30% of the premium covers the liability limit. The insurance premium for a Gulfstream is determined by factors such as the pilot’s experience, number of seats, and whether the aircraft is used for Commercial Part 135 Charter or Private Part 91 operations. In European Union operations, there is a requirement for war liability coverage of at least $250,000,000. This coverage can be obtained either on a per trip or annual premium basis. The cost for a per trip coverage is $1,000, while the annual coverage costs $2,500. Certain EU countries, including Italy, Germany, and Spain, require territory certificates. Your trip planner will be familiar with the certification requirements.
A simple method to calculate or visualize the cost for a Gulfstream Aircraft is: 0.2%, 0.4%, and 0.6%.
Since 2019, the aviation industry has experienced a very challenging market, which has mildly impacted some of the best Gulfstream jet operators. Typically, the owners who fund their flight operations are constantly seeking insurance underwriters to insure their operations, as they involve a high level of risk. These owners are very well funded and do not spare any expense when it comes to insuring their operations, which makes it a favorable risk for aviation insurance underwriters.
Gulfstream G700..
The G700. will share a common type rating with the G500./600, because it has new Pearl Rolls-Royce 700 engines and swoopy winglets that make the flight deck similar. Additionally, it has a redesigned tail with a lower height to make it easier to access the hangar, and it also borrows the active-control sidesticks from the Symmetry G500./600’s flight deck. The G700. is actually a stretched derivative of the G650., with a 10-foot wire-by-fly.
Gulfstream G800..
The G800. is set to replace the G650.ER in due course. It will boast a range of 8,000 nautical miles at Mach 0.85 and a range of 7,000 nautical miles at Mach 0.90, with a flight ceiling of 51,000 feet. Commencing by the end of this year, flight tests are expected to take place. The initial G800., priced at $71.5 million, is scheduled to be delivered to customers in 2024. Equipped with the same Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 turbofan engines as the G700., the jet will also share the wing, tail, and winglet of that aircraft. However, it will maintain the fuselage of the G650.ER. Accommodating up to 19 passengers and providing sleeping space for 10 individuals across four living areas, the G800. also offers an alternative layout with three living areas and a crew compartment.
Claim History
Downed planes are quickly restored to flying condition with the assistance of Gulfstream for Aircraft On the Ground (AOG) support, setting new records. Typically, the most seasoned staff members in a Gulfstream flight department have had to progress through different flight departments before reaching a Gulfstream. The Gulfstreams boast an outstanding track record in terms of insurance claims.
Gulfstreams have rarely experienced catastrophic losses, although there is always a risk involved, companies can wipe out decades of collected premiums from aviation insurance.

Valuation
Typically, aircraft owners do not consider the resale value of the Gulfstream as their primary concern, but they hold pretty well in the rest of the market.
