Gulfstream G450 Market Position
The G450 replaced the GIV-SP with updated engines, Gulfstream's PlaneView cockpit, and improved range. At 4,350 nautical miles, it covers most transatlantic routes. Production ended in 2018 after more than 350 deliveries. The type offers heavy-jet capability at price points below the G550 and G650.
Performance Profile
The Gulfstream G450 delivers 476-knot cruise speeds with a maximum range of 4,350 nautical miles under standard fuel reserves. That range covers most transcontinental routes nonstop and select transatlantic pairings with favorable winds. Power comes from 2x Rolls-Royce Tay 611-8C. The 45,000-foot ceiling provides routing flexibility above airline corridors and most icing layers.
Mission Profile
Heavy jets are the workhorses of corporate flight departments and head-of-state operations. The Gulfstream G450 accommodates up to 16 passengers in a cabin configured for meetings, rest, and extended travel. Baggage capacity and galley provisions support multi-day trips without the logistical constraints of smaller platforms.
Charter & Availability

Insider Note
Heavy jets carry higher repositioning costs than midsize aircraft. If the aircraft is based far from your departure airport, a deadhead leg adds significant cost. Inquire about one-way availability or empty-leg positioning to reduce the total trip expense.
