G450
The workhorse of transatlantic charter. Forty feet of cabin in three zones, two lavatories, a cabin attendant as standard, and New York to London nonstop with a full load.
Three cabin zones, two lavatories, a flight attendant, and a bed. Twelve passengers across an ocean, or ten across the country with a board meeting in the middle.

Manufacturer figures are published maximums under ideal conditions. Charter figures reflect how these aircraft are actually configured and flown — full fuel with four to five passengers, IFR reserves, and real-world runway margins. Your advisor confirms the exact tail's numbers before you sign.

Call an advisor →Yes, and this is the class where it starts to be true. The Global 5000 and Challenger 605 divans make full-length beds; the G450 and Falcon 900LX have berthable seating in the aft zone. Tell us it is a sleeper flight and we brief the crew to set the cabin before you board.
On every aircraft here, effectively yes — heavy jets are crewed with a flight attendant as standard, and hot catering, real glassware, and a stocked galley come with them. Dietary requirements and preferred brands go in at booking.
From Fort Lauderdale, the Global 5000 does it comfortably and the G450 does it with a favourable jet stream. The Falcon 900LX and Challenger 605 typically take a fuel stop in the Azores or Gander eastbound. From Teterboro, all four make London nonstop.
A single crew is legally limited to roughly fourteen hours on duty. Beyond that the operator adds a relief crew — a real cost that belongs in the quote up front, not as a surprise. For multi-leg international itineraries we plan crew rest with the operator before pricing.
We arrange overflight and landing permits, customs, immigration, ground handling, and fuel at every stop. For Europe and South America that work starts several days out — the earlier you book an international heavy, the better the aircraft and the slot times.
Age, interior condition, crew experience, home base, and whether the leg positions empty all move the number. That is why we show a market band, not a fixed rate — and why the quote itemises every line.
