N100AL

This entry documents airframe N100AL, a Gulfstream long-range business jet built in 2020 with manufacturer serial number 6431. The aircraft is a Gulfstream G650ER manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation and is registered in the US. Ownership is held by Abbott Laboratories Inc, a corporation based in Waukegan, IL, US; the airframe’s registry and corporate ownership have been notable for its use in executive transport by a single corporate operator. Current market valuation for this specific airframe is listed at $39,900,000, reflecting condition and equipment fit typical for a 2020-built example.

The cabin of N100AL is fitted in a typical 14–16 passenger executive layout with a forward galley and options for forward and aft lavatories, allowing flexibility for corporate mission profiles and passenger comfort. Avionics are supplied by Gulfstream’s PlaneView II suite, supporting advanced flight management, situational awareness and long-range navigation necessary for extended overwater operations. Operated by a corporate flight department out of Waukegan, IL, the airframe is configured for intercontinental business travel and transoceanic point-to-point missions within its 7,500 nm capability. Maintenance considerations align with high-utilization corporate use and the BR725 powerplants, which require operator adherence to manufacturer schedules and component tracking for continued long-range reliability.

The Gulfstream G650ER occupies the high-performance, ultra-long-range business jet niche, offering extended-range capability and high cruise speed compared with legacy large-cabin competitors. Typical competitors include other ultra-long-range types with similar cabin standards and range, and demand among corporate buyers and charter operators remains robust for well-equipped late-model examples. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2020 airframe such as N100AL include the value impact of avionics (PlaneView II), engine program participation for the BR725s, and the strong market preference for well-documented corporate-operated airframes.
