Why the Gulfstream IV / IV-SP / G400 Fits Kentucky

With 4,220 nautical miles of published range, it covers trips from Kentucky to destinations such as Nassau, Scottsdale and Dublin, allowing for reserves and routing. Plenty of Kentucky families spend part of the winter in Florida, and the weeks around the holidays are busy for flights south, so book early.

An aircraft this size usually flies from Louisville Muhammad Ali International, Blue Grass Airport in Lexington or Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International, depending on where your trip starts. The runway an aircraft needs is calculated by the operator for that day’s conditions, and we confirm it with the operator before anything is booked.

How Kentucky Clients Use the Gulfstream IV / IV-SP / G400

Heavy jets carry larger Kentucky groups a long way, such as a family of three generations heading to the islands, a company team flying to the West Coast, or a group of friends going to Las Vegas. Most heavy jets seat between ten and sixteen passengers.

Give us the route, who is flying and what they are bringing, golf clubs included, and your advisor will tell you whether this aircraft is right or suggest one that suits the trip better.
