M-INTY Aircraft Overview
M-INTY is a Gulfstream G280 registered in Isle of Man with serial number 2086. The Gulfstream G280 occupies the super-midsize category, bridging the performance gap between traditional midsize jets and large-cabin heavy platforms. The aircraft is associated with Hampshire Aviation Ltd, registered through the IoM CAA.
Gulfstream G280 Market Position
The G280 replaced the G200 with a new wing, Honeywell HTF7250G engines, and Gulfstream's PlaneView cockpit. Range increased to 3,600 nautical miles. Certified for steep approaches, the G280 accesses airports like London City that are closed to most competitors in the category. Production ended in 2023.
Performance Profile
The Gulfstream G280 cruises at 482 knots and achieves a maximum range of 3,600 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 Honeywell HTF7250G. 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 G280 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.

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.
