Gulfstream G550 – A small jet capable of carrying 14-19 passengers, its production began in 2003. It is still being manufactured and carries a price tag of U.S. $61.5 million.

“deadhead” flight – also known as dead mileage, dead running, or an empty leg, this term refers to a flight by a commercial plane without passengers. These flights are typically employed to transport a plane between its storage area and the location where it picks up or drops off passengers. Dead heading also occurs in other forms of transportation, such as busing.
