Gulfstream has a fleet of corporate jets, which include spacious cabins, luxurious galleys, and shower space.
The planes range in price from $25 million to $78 million.

Gulfstream has seven jets in its portfolio. While some are still to enter service, others have already amassed thousands of miles flying people around the world.

I toured some of the Gulfstream demonstration planes while they were on display at the European Business and Aviation Convention and Exhibition in Geneva.

The G280 is the smallest of the Gulfstream fleet and the least expensive, with a price tag of $24.5 million.

Inside the main cabin of the model I boarded, there were ten leather seats with added tables, charging plugs, and drink holders. The cabins are customizable and can be reconfigured in any way, according to Gulfstream.

With two living areas, the plane can accommodate up to ten people and sleep up to five.

The jet has a camera fitted on the outside and has "steep approach" capabilities, according to one of the pilots onboard.

That means the aircraft can take off from airports like London City Airport, which is surrounded by buildings, and quickly climb to its cruising altitude of 41,000 feet.

The aircraft can travel up to 3,600 nautical miles. It has a "ton of power," for its size according to one of the Gulfstream pilots. "It's like flying a little sports car," the pilot added.

There are more than 200 of the Gulfstream G280s in operation. The model is often used by charter companies, but a large proportion of the smaller planes currently in operation also belong to private individuals and families, according to Gulfstream.
