Gulfstream G450
Heavy jet - 8 passengers, 4,350 nm published range
About the Gulfstream G450
The Gulfstream G450 is a large-cabin, long-range business jet that entered production in 2004 as the refined successor to the GIV-SP/G400, adding the PlaneView flight deck, a relocated entry door, and improved Rolls-Royce Tay engines. It offers a spacious three-zone cabin, transcontinental-plus range, and remains one of the most common large-cabin jets on the charter and pre-owned market despite Gulfstream ending production in 2018.
Who charters it
Charter clients choose the G450 for large-group, transcontinental, and intercontinental trips that need a stand-up cabin, multiple living zones, and true coast-to-coast-plus range without stepping up to a G550/G650; a deep pre-owned fleet (365 built) keeps charter availability strong.

Colorado mountain airports: capable
77.8 ft wingspan is comfortably inside Aspen's limit and the G450 is regularly marketed and flown as one of the heavy jets serving the Aspen charter market, with Eagle County commonly cited as the weather alternate when ASE conditions are not workable. Payload/fuel restrictions apply in summer density altitude; Telluride is not a realistic destination for this class.
Planning guidance only. The operator, the AFM performance data, and conditions on the day are the final authority.
