Questions

Gulfstream G450 FAQ

G450 vs G550?
The G550 has 2,150 nm more range (6,500 nm vs 4,350 nm) and a slightly larger cabin. The G450 has essentially identical cabin cross-section and passenger experience at a materially lower charter rate.
Is the G450 still in production?
No, production ended in 2017. The successor is the G500.
Non-stop London to New York?
Yes eastbound reliably; westbound in favourable winds. In heavy westbound headwinds a Shannon or Gander stop is planned.
How does it compare to the Falcon 900LX?
The 900LX is trijet with lower operating cost and better short-field performance. The G450 has a longer cabin and better transatlantic westbound performance.
Pre-owned market health?
Deep pre-owned market with prices in the 15 to 22 million range depending on year and hours. Popular among charter operators looking for Gulfstream heavy at an accessible rate.
