Fuel burn and CO2

The G600 burns about 492 US gallons (1,490 kg) of jet fuel an hour, which puts out about 4.7 tonnes of CO2. Sustainable aviation fuel, where the departure airport has it, cuts the lifecycle figure.

Interior

G600 interior and cabin layout

Most G600s seat 13 to 16. Three-zone cabins pair a forward club, a conference group and an aft lounge, often with a crew rest by the forward galley; four-zone cabins add a second lounge. Every aircraft is fitted out by its owner, so we confirm the exact seat map, beds and Wi-Fi with each quote. The layouts below come from specification sheets of aircraft offered for sale.

How much does a G600 cost?

A new G600 listed at about $59.5 million in 2025. Owning one also means paying to fly and maintain it, which is why most people who fly a few times a year charter instead.

Empty legs can cut the price sharply when one matches your dates.

Charter or own?

Owning a G600 costs about $1.97 million a year before it flies (crew, hangar, insurance), plus about $7,900 for every flight hour. At the hours most owners fly, chartering costs less per hour, and you pay nothing when you do not fly.

Airports

Where the G600 can land

A 6,600 nm jet that needs about 5,700 ft of runway at full weight and is approved for steep approaches.

Runway needed

About 5,700 ft to take off at maximum weight at sea level, and about 2,365 ft to land at maximum landing weight. Hot or high airports need more.

Steep approaches

The FAA certified the G600 for steep approaches in 2024, and EASA followed in January 2026. That is the approval airports such as London City and Lugano require. Each operator still needs approval for the airport.

Safety

G600 safety record

Events from official investigations and safety databases. We also check the record of the exact aircraft and operator before we book.

N600WE, Birmingham, 2026

On 27 May 2026 a G600 arriving from Ireland lost sight of the runway in heavy rain at Birmingham, Alabama, drifted right of the centerline after touchdown and ran onto the grass before stopping across the runway. None of the 2 crew and 12 passengers was hurt, but the right wing was substantially damaged. The NTSB found the crew continued the approach into adverse weather.

Flap fitting directive, 2023

In August 2023 the FAA set a 4,000-cycle life limit for the inboard flap actuator yoke fittings on G600s S/N 73001 to 73051, because a fitting kept in service too long could fracture and jam the flaps.

Alpha limiter directive, 2020

In March 2020 the FAA ordered a flight manual revision for the G500 and G600 after the alpha limiter engaged in the landing flare in unstable air.

Type record

The Aviation Safety Network lists one G600 occurrence, the Birmingham landing, and no fatalities.
