Charter a Gulfstream G450 Heavy Jet

Production of the G450 ran from 2004 to 2018, with 365 aircraft delivered. The G450 was also developed alongside a shorter-range variant, the G350, which received certification in 2004. The last G450 was delivered in January 2018, ending a continuous GIV family production run stretching back to 1987.

The Gulfstream G450 is a heavy twin-engine jet built by Gulfstream Aerospace. Produced from 2004 to 2018, it carries up to 19 passengers across a 4,350-nautical-mile range at 476 knots. Two Rolls-Royce Tay Mk 611-8C engines with FADEC produce 13,850 lbf each. Cabin length is 45.1 feet, carrying forward the GIV family's proven wide-cabin cross-section.

Gulfstream had a proven airframe in the GIV-SP. The G450 program focused on three meaningful upgrades without redesigning the entire aircraft.

First, the fuselage was lengthened 12 inches by grafting the G550's forward fuselage section and larger cockpit onto the GIV airframe. That extra length accommodated the new PlaneView flight deck without reducing cabin volume.

Second, the engines were updated to the Rolls-Royce Tay Mk 611-8C with Full Authority Digital Engine Control, improving fuel efficiency, reducing noise, and simplifying engine management compared to the non-FADEC Tay Mk 611-8 in the GIV-SP.

Third, Gulfstream redesigned the wing to cut cruise drag and increase fuel capacity, pushing maximum range from 4,220 nm to 4,350 nm. Overall weight was reduced by approximately 500 pounds through the use of Kevlar and graphite-epoxy composites in parts of the cabin and engine nacelles.

The G450 climbs to 41,000 feet in 23 minutes, burns approximately 493 gallons per hour in cruise, and can carry eight passengers and three crew members.

The G450 was the final and most capable production variant of the GIV line, the family that began with the first GIV in 1987 and produced more than 900 aircraft across 30 years.

Gulfstream delivered 365 G450s between 2004 and 2018. A shorter-range variant, the G350, also received certification in 2004 and was produced alongside it. New G450s carried a list price of approximately $39 million; pre-owned models today typically trade between roughly $9 million and $24 million depending on year and condition.

The last G450 was delivered in January 2018, ending the GIV family's 30-year production run. Gulfstream replaced the line with the G500, a new-design aircraft with an entirely different wing and fuselage.

The G450's PlaneView cockpit, shared with the G550, brought the GIV family's avionics level to within one generation of Gulfstream's current fleet, and many G450s have since been equipped with optional upgrades including Enhanced Vision System and Synthetic Vision Primary Flight Display.

A heavy jet trades a higher hourly rate for significantly more cabin length, passenger capacity, range, and baggage space.

• Dramatically more cabin: 45.1 feet long versus roughly 24 to 26 feet for most super midsize jets nearly double the cabin length.
• More passengers: up to 19 versus 9 to 10 for most super midsize aircraft.
• More baggage: 169 cubic feet, in-flight accessible, versus 115 to 135 cubic feet for most super midsize jets.
• Greater range: 4,350 nautical miles covers transatlantic and select transpacific routes that most super midsize jets cannot reach nonstop.
• Best mission: large groups needing the longest range in the GIV family with the most advanced cockpit generation.

The G450 seats up to 19 passengers. Most charter configurations seat 12 to 16 across three cabin zones, with 14 the most common executive configuration.

• A forward four-place club seating section for meetings and productivity.
• A mid-cabin conference group of four with a foldout table, or an alternative berthing divan layout.
• An aft divan or lounge area that converts to lie-flat berths for sleeping on long sectors.
• Cabin height is 6.2 feet, slightly more than the GIV-SP's 6.1 feet; the full center aisle and Gulfstream's large oval windows keep the space open.
• Electronics, lighting, and the two-zone temperature control system are accessible from panels throughout the cabin.
• 169 cubic feet of in-flight accessible baggage space, enough for approximately 24 suitcases.

The Gulfstream G450 cabin is 45.1 feet long, 7.3 feet wide, and 6.2 feet tall. Cabin pressurization holds a 6,000-foot equivalent altitude at cruise, with a 9.5 psi differential allowing a sea-level cabin at 22,000 feet. Three zones support meetings, dining, and rest. The aircraft seats up to 19 passengers with 169 cubic feet of in-flight accessible baggage capacity.

Within the GIV family, the G450 is the most capable and most recently produced variant. The GIV-SP offers the same MTOW at a lower cost of entry with the older SPZ-8000 avionics. The G450's PlaneView cockpit and FADEC engines are the defining differences.

The 4,350-nautical-mile range covers transatlantic and select transpacific routes. New York to London (approximately 3,000 nm) is well within nonstop range; Los Angeles to Tokyo requires a fuel stop.

The cost to charter a Gulfstream G450 is typically $6,500–$8,500 per flight hour. New York to Los Angeles one-way rental runs approximately $46,400 to $58,600. New York to London one-way charter price is approximately $74,000 to $95,000. Final all-in cost depends on operator, routing, positioning, and season. Fuel, crew, and maintenance are included in the hourly rate; landing fees, taxes, and repositioning are billed separately.

The G450 and GIV-SP share the same 45-foot cabin cross-section, the same MTOW, and the same Rolls-Royce Tay engine family. The G450's key advances are FADEC engine control, the PlaneView cockpit, a 12-inch longer fuselage, and 130 nm more range.

Every Gulfstream G450 charter coordinated by Hogani Jets is operated by an FAA Part 135 certificated direct air carrier holding full operational control of the flight. Each operator's certificate, insurance coverage, and safety record is independently reviewed before Hogani Jets coordinates a booking. Hogani Jets is an air charter broker and does not own or operate aircraft.

The Gulfstream G450 carries the Honeywell PlaneView avionics suite with four 14-inch landscape-format LCD screens, an Enhanced Vision System, and Head-Up Display as standard. The fly-by-wire flight controls use no mechanical link between the pilot and control surfaces. Twin Rolls-Royce Tay Mk 611-8C engines with FADEC power the type, and Rolls-Royce and Gulfstream Aerospace continue to provide full parts and engineering support.

The G450 suits large groups on transcontinental and transatlantic routes where both range and cabin refinement matter. The following Hogani Jets route pages cover its most common corridors.
