N450GR Aircraft Overview
Performance Profile
At 476 knots and 4,350 NM, the Gulfstream G450 sits in the sweet spot for operators who need transcontinental reach without the acquisition cost of an ultra-long-range platform. N450GR's 2x Rolls-Royce Tay 611-8C deliver 13,850 lbs per side with a service ceiling of 45,000 feet.
Mission Profile
The Gulfstream G450 seats up to 16 passengers in a cabin measuring 45.1 ft long, 7.3 ft wide, and 6.1 ft tall. N450GR operates in the heavy jet segment where cabin volume supports full-day productivity on coast-to-coast flights.
Charter Authorization
N450GR operates under a Part 135 certificate for on-demand charter. The Gulfstream G450's coast-to-coast range and 16-passenger cabin make it a strong fit for corporate group travel. Contact us for availability.
Insider Note
Operating costs for the Gulfstream G450 typically run $5,000-$7,000 per flight hour. That includes fuel, crew, maintenance reserves, and insurance. N450GR's operator carries these costs as part of a Part 135 program, where hourly revenue from charter offsets fixed expenses.
Charter & Acquisition Briefing
N450GR, a 2006 Gulfstream G-IV under CB AVIATION INC, represents the platform that established Gulfstream's dominance in large-cabin aviation. Below is the market intelligence.
Fleet Position
Over 800 G-IV/G450 aircraft were produced. Approximately 350 remain on active U.S. registrations. FAA data shows N450GR based in OGDEN, UT. The G-IV is the most-produced Gulfstream ever, and fleet depth ensures availability for charter and strong parts support despite the end of production.
Charter Availability
N450GR is Part 135 charter authorized. G-IV/G450 charter rates range from $6,000 to $10,000 per flight hour. The G-IV is the most affordable large-cabin Gulfstream for charter, offering the Gulfstream name and cabin at rates 30% below the G550. Positioning from OGDEN adds $4,000 to $10,000 depending on distance.
Market Position
A 2006 production date makes N450GR a Gulfstream G450 (the G-IV successor) with the PlaneView cockpit, Tay 611-8C engines, and improved range. Pre-owned values range from $10M to $18M. The G450 is the definitive evolution of the G-IV platform: modern cockpit, proven engines, and Gulfstream's full service support.
The G450 competes with the Challenger 650 and Falcon 900LX in the large-cabin category. Its advantage: Gulfstream's service network and brand equity. Its disadvantage: the G450's 4,350 nm range falls short of the G550 (6,750 nm) and the 6.1-foot cabin width is narrower than the Challenger 650 (7.2 ft).
Mission Profile
The G-IV/G450 handles transcontinental and Caribbean routes in a Gulfstream cabin. Teterboro to Van Nuys in 4 hours 40 minutes. Miami to Mexico City in 2 hours 30 minutes. Chicago to London with one stop. The cabin seats 12 to 14 with a full galley, enclosed lavatory, and crew rest area.
When to Choose Something Else
Pass on the G-IV/G450 for short-field operations. Takeoff distance exceeds 5,800 feet, and performance degrades at elevation. For mountain airports, the Falcon 900 or Challenger 350 provides better short-field margins.
Ownership & Operations
Aircraft management companies handle the operational complexity of jet ownership. They provide crew, maintenance tracking, regulatory compliance, insurance, and hangar coordination. Management fees run $8,000 to $25,000 per month depending on aircraft size. For owners who fly 100 to 300 hours annually, professional management reduces risk and administrative burden while maintaining access to Part 135 charter revenue.
Pre-Purchase Considerations
Engine program enrollment significantly affects aircraft value and operating economics. Programs like Rolls-Royce CorporateCare, Pratt & Whitney Eagle Service Plan, and Honeywell MSP spread major engine costs into predictable hourly rates. Aircraft enrolled in these programs command 10 to 20% higher resale values than non-enrolled equivalents because buyers avoid the risk of unbudgeted engine overhauls.
Charter Market Context
The Jet Finder sources charter aircraft from a network of vetted Part 135 operators. We do not own aircraft. This broker model ensures clients see competitive options across multiple operators rather than being limited to a single fleet. Pricing transparency comes from comparing 3 to 5 operator quotes on every request. The client sees all options and chooses based on aircraft, price, and operator quality.
