Figures as published by each model’s sources (see the model pages). Sources may use different conditions, such as passenger load and cruise speed, so small differences are not like-for-like.
Beyond the numbers
What to weigh
- Your longest regular route with realistic load, not the maximum published range.
- Cabin layout and floor plan of the specific aircraft, not just the type.
- New or pre-owned availability, and model succession for out-of-production types.
- Maintenance programme status, which can outweigh differences between types.
- Crew availability for each type in your region.
Notes
G450
- More than 360 were built over 12 years, so the pre-owned market is wide.
- Avionics and connectivity upgrades differ between aircraft.
G500
- Gulfstream’s fly-by-wire large-cabin jet, successor to the G450.
- Shares its cabin cross-section with the G600.
