Costs of owning and operating a Gulfstream G450 G450

Gulfstream G450 went into operation in October 2004. This is a cost break-down of what you should be expecting when you decide to own and run a Gulfstream G450. G450 replaces G400 in the Gulfstream line. G400 had emerged from the Gulfstream IV (GIV), which first went into operation in 1987 and established several global record breaking in its category.

One new Gulfstream G450 will currently cost between 38 and 43 million dollars. Used models usually cost anywhere from 14 to 35 million dollars. Used aircrafts are priced according to aircrafts' ages, usage, servicing, record keeping and service levels. Progressive soundproofing further cuts cab interior noises by 18% in comparison to the aircraft's predecessor, while special developed elliptical windowing doubles the amount of ambient lighting in the cab interior (compared to similar airplanes in its class).

Gulfstream G450 engineers have also optimised airflow and cab pressures to reduce in-flight tiredness and make you feel rejuvenated and prolific at your destinations. Two Rolls-Royce Tay Mk 611-8C power plants, each able to generate 13,850 lb of thrusts, power the Gulfstream G450.

Dashboard uses the Gulfstream PlaneView system, which is built on Honeywells' Primus Epic built-in electronics system. These are the cost you should anticipate when owning a Gulfstream G450. A Gulfstream G450 has a combined annual operating cost of $4,221,475 per year which includes a $1,726,000 impairment charge or $6,810,475 per year which includes a $4,315,000 impairment charge.

Miscellaneous expenditure includes overhaul, modernisation of aeroplanes, navigational map services, the computer programme and meteorological services.

A Gulfstream G450's varying cost of operation varies depending on the number of working days and the route travelled. On the assumption of 423 service hrs per year and 175,000 sea mile travelled, $1,616,591 in annually incremental expenditures can be anticipated. Most of these variables are the cost of fuels, which are valued at $2,280 per class per day, with a variability of $3,822 per class per day.

In the following chart, the allocation of our varying hours cost is shown, based on a $4.41 per gal and 517 gal of use. The cost of service is estimated at $105 per incident, requiring 1.12 hours per flying hour. 1.12 hours per flying hours. Just as with any airplane acquirement, the choice to buy a Gulfstream G450 as compared to a fraction of the airplane or jet ticket should be made after careful consideration of your needs and consideration of your alternate choices.
