Where it fits well
- 500 kt cruise supports fast regional travel.
- 3485 nm advertised range creates a practical planning radius of about 2335 nm with 4 occupants.
- 1170 kg realistic payload proxy and 15 seats define the usable cabin mission.

The ownership trade-off
The G300 combines 15-seat jet capability with about 3,399 NM reported range and about 476 kt reported cruise, while payload, runway and operating-cost figures remain indicative and should be verified for the specific aircraft before making a decision.
Cost picture at different usage
- 40 hours/year: about €704k per year ( €17610 per flight hour all-in)
- 80 hours/year: about €967k per year ( €12085 per flight hour all-in)
- 120 hours/year: about €1.23m per year ( €10243 per flight hour all-in)
- 180 hours/year: about €1.62m per year ( €9016 per flight hour all-in)
Older examples add calendar-driven maintenance: a 2011-built airframe is estimated at €904k per year at 80 hours. Condition, engine time remaining and avionics matter more than the year itself — price the aircraft in front of you, not the model.
Limitations to price honestly
- The G300 combines 15-seat jet capability with about 3,399 NM reported range and about 476 kt reported cruise, while payload, runway and operating-cost figures remain indicative and should be verified for the specific aircraft before making a decision.
- €334k fixed annual planning base before flying a single hour.
- Approximate 1497 m take-off requirement must be checked against runway, surface, slope, temperature and loading.
Recommended missions
- Family and small-group touring with a weight-and-balance check for every trip.
- Longer regional missions, with reserves and payload reducing brochure range.
- Time-sensitive business travel where dispatch reliability justifies the cost.
