C-FREE Aircraft Overview
C-FREE is a Iai Limited Gulfstream G150 registered in Canada with serial number 296. This midsize jet serves the core of the business aviation market, balancing cabin space, range, and operating cost in a way that makes it the most common category for corporate flight departments. The aircraft is associated with Fast Air Ltd., registered through the TCCA.
Gulfstream G150 Market Position
The Gulfstream G150 replaced the G100 with Honeywell TFE731-40AR engines and a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 cockpit. Range increased to 3,000 nautical miles. The widest cabin in its class and Gulfstream's brand equity made it competitive against the Learjet 60 and Hawker 800XP.
Performance Profile
At 475 knots, the Gulfstream G150 cruises efficiently across routes up to 3,000 nautical miles. This covers most domestic city pairs nonstop and reaches select international destinations from southern U.S. airports. Power comes from 2x Honeywell TFE731-40R. The aircraft operates at altitudes up to 45,000 feet.
Mission Profile
Midsize jets handle the bulk of corporate aviation missions: day trips, multi-city tours, and regional travel where airlines cannot match the schedule. The Gulfstream G150 seats up to 9 passengers with a cabin that allows standing and provides enough volume for presentations, meals, or rest on flights under four hours.
Charter & Availability
C-FREE is registered in Canada under the TCCA. Contact The Jet Finder to inquire about charter availability for this aircraft or similar Gulfstream G150 platforms worldwide.
Insider Note
Midsize jets offer the best balance of cost and capability for most private aviation missions. A common mistake is chartering a heavy jet for a route a midsize aircraft handles easily. The difference in hourly rate between the two categories can exceed $3,000 per flight hour.
