N1459A

The airframe bearing registration N1459A is a 2001-built Gulfstream G-IV (G-IV / G-IV SP) manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace with serial number 1459. The aircraft is owned by G1459 Leasing LLC, a corporation based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, US, and is registered in the United States. The airframe’s documented market valuation is $5,500,000, reflecting its configuration and age. Notable registry and ownership entries record the single corporate owner tied to a Fort Lauderdale address and the US registration record.

This specific Gulfstream G-IV airframe, N1459A, is configured to accommodate 22 seats, supporting high-capacity corporate or charter missions consistent with long‑range business operations. The aircraft’s range of 4,220 nm and cruise speed of 459 kts enable transcontinental and transoceanic routings typical for Gulfstream G‑IV operators. Based on the corporate ownership by G1459 Leasing LLC in Fort Lauderdale, FL, the aircraft’s operational base and primary management activities are tied to South Florida. Cabin layout and avionics fit for this serial are consistent with the G‑IV family’s role as a long‑range business jet, and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect the standard support requirements of Rolls‑Royce Tay–powered Gulfstreams, including engine shop visits and scheduled inspections commensurate with its 2001 manufacture date.

The Gulfstream G‑IV family, represented here by Gulfstream G‑IV (G‑IV / G‑IV SP) serial 1459, occupies a long‑range, high‑speed business jet niche, balancing transcontinental capability with a relatively large passenger capacity for its era. Competing models in the segment include other late‑generation large‑cabin business jets offering similar range and speed; buyer and charter demand for G‑IVs tends to focus on value pricing against newer aircraft. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect a market where age, engine support for the Rolls‑Royce Tay 611‑8, and the documented value of $5,500,000 factor strongly into transaction and upkeep decisions.
