G450 OR F2000EX EASy dry lease

Hi all,
We are looking for a G450 or F2000EX EASy dry lease, starting next NOV12 or DEC12 for a couple of months.
FAA or FAA validation (IOM, Bermuda, Cayman.......) to fly in EUROPE.
Private operations around 35/40 hrs a month.
Any idea???
Thanks in advance.

go with the G450, with the G450 you will get reliability, with Falcon you won't !

'Go with the F2000LX. With the 2000LX you will get a wider cabin, larger baggage compartment and much lower fuel consumption, with Gulfstream you won't!'

What is this all about? Cachirulo didn't ask us which airplane we like most, she/he asked about availability, if I'm not mistaken.

In my experience a dry lease "for a couple of months" is not going to be easy to find... 12 months or more seems to be the standard with 6 months being the exception.

I would think that a wet lease / charter contract would give you the best deal for the time/hours you are looking for.

I am aware of a Falcon 2000 that would probably be available if you are interested. No financial incentive for me, just passing on info.

Disregard comment about G450 vs Falco 2000. Rubbish. Both are great machines difference is the Falcon offers 30% lower Direct Operating Costs but G450 should give you another 7-800nm.

I know the differences about G450 vs F2TH, we are type rated in both, problem is we need one while our is on maintenance, thatīs really my point.
Anyway thanks for your comments, they are welcome.

That situation has happened to me many times....The best option in terms of operation, availability...is to buy a package of hours to Netjets. They operate the F2000 and above all I haven't heard anyone operating a dry lease less than 12-6 months...Your owner will pay a little more but you can tell he will have the plane whenever he wants.

It is not worth going for a dry lease only for that time....
