Thrive Aviation (TIV, Las Vegas Henderson) has resumed G450 charter operations after a one-year hiatus. The company previously operated a G450 under its Part 135 certificate between 2017 and 2023.
N241CH (msn 4217) is a 15.2-year-old Gulfstream Aerospace aircraft configured to seat up to 14 passengers. It was privately operated in the United States as N241CE, flying for the last time under this registration on December 31, 2024, between Lincoln, NE and Las Vegas Harry Reid. The ultra-long-range-jet was reregistered as N241CH on February 4, 2025, but has yet to operate under its new registration.
Originally delivered to Germany's Windrose Air Jetcharter, it was exported to the United States in 2015.
The G450 joins 22 other aircraft in Thrive Aviation's Part 135 fleet, including two Learjet 60XRs (one added alongside the G450), a Challenger 604, a Challenger 605, a Citation M2, four Citation Jet 3+, five Citation Sovereign+, five Citation Longitudes, a Falcon 2000EX EASy, a Praetor 600, and a GVII-G600.
