HB-IUV Aircraft Overview
HB-IUV is a Israel Aircraft Industries Ltd. Gulfstream G200 registered in Switzerland with serial number 073. The Gulfstream G200 occupies the super-midsize category, bridging the performance gap between traditional midsize jets and large-cabin heavy platforms. The aircraft is associated with Iq-charter A/s, registered through the FOCA. Manufactured in 2003, the aircraft has 23 years in service.
Gulfstream G200 Market Position
The G200, originally the Israel Aircraft Industries Galaxy, brought wide-body cabin dimensions to the super-midsize market. Its 3,400-nautical-mile range and stand-up cabin established a value proposition that influenced every subsequent competitor in the category. Production ran from 1999 to 2011.
Performance Profile
The Gulfstream G200 cruises at 470 knots and achieves a maximum range of 3,400 nautical miles. That envelope covers coast-to-coast U.S. routes and most Caribbean or Central American destinations nonstop from mainland airports. Power comes from 2x Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306A. A 45,000-foot service ceiling keeps the aircraft above congested airspace and most weather systems.
Mission Profile
Super-midsize jets fill a specific operational gap: passengers who need transcontinental range and a stand-up cabin without the acquisition and operating costs of a heavy jet. The Gulfstream G200 seats up to 10 in a flat-floor cabin with enough room for a productive work environment or comfortable rest on legs exceeding four hours.
Charter & Availability
HB-IUV is registered in Switzerland under the FOCA. Contact The Jet Finder to inquire about charter availability for this aircraft or similar Gulfstream G200 platforms worldwide.
Insider Note
Super-midsize jets often operate from the same runway lengths as midsize aircraft but carry significantly more fuel and payload. For operators considering an upgrade from a midsize platform, the super-mid category delivers measurably more range without requiring access to longer runways.
