EXPERT VERDICT
The Falcon 900EX pulls ahead on range / non-stop reach, cabin comfort and airport access; the G450 answers with speed & block time. Both sit in the heavy jet class, so charter pricing is broadly aligned — let the use case (range, group size, airport pair) drive the final call.
Range / non-stop reach
Falcon 900EX
4,500 nm of range — the better choice for transcontinental and intercontinental missions.
