Gulfstream G450 Facts
The G450 was developed in parallel with the G550, the first time that Gulfstream developed two new models concurrently, meaning it benefited from systems developed for the G550.
In 2016, Gulfstream announced it was ending production of the type as it began production of the G500.
In addition to the used market, you can access the G450 via fractional ownership and leases as well as aircraft type-specific jet cards and on-demand via charter.
The price for a used G450 starts at around $11 million.
The G450 followed up the G400 which was in production 2003 to 2004. It has the same cabin dimensions as the G IV (1986 to 1992) and G IVSP (1992 to 2002).
