Which should you charter?
Pick the Global 5000 if you need the extra 960 km (518 nm) of range, headroom matters (the cabin is 3 cm taller), you want more room to spread out (the cabin is 0.4 m longer) and you want a wider cabin (25 cm more across).
On paper the Gulfstream G450 does not lead on any of the figures above. Pick it when one is based closer to your departure airport, which cuts positioning cost and often the total price.
The Gulfstream G450 is estimated at $9,500/hr against $11,500/hr for the Global 5000, about $2,000 less per hour. Real quotes depend on the operator, the aircraft's age and how far it has to fly to reach you.
Example trip: the Global 5000 can fly New York (TEB) to Moscow (SVO) nonstop, 7,475 km. The Gulfstream G450 would need a fuel stop on that route.
Nonstop means within 90% of published range, before winds, payload and fuel reserves; the operator confirms each route.
