N1540

This airframe, registered as N1540, is a 2016-built Gulfstream G280 with manufacturer serial number 2110. The aircraft is owned by PNC BANK NA (a corporation based in Boise, ID, US), and appears on the US registry for transport certification. The airframe’s registry lists a 21-seat transport configuration and a market valuation of $16,000,000. Notable registry actions include certification for transport use rather than a pure executive configuration, and the aircraft carries standard corporate ownership documentation under its current corporate owner.

The cabin for this specific airframe is configured for transport certification with registry listing 21 seats, though typical executive layouts for the model reflect 7–10 passengers with up to two living areas; this airframe retains the capacity for higher-density transport use. Cabin equipment includes a forward galley and an aft vacuum lavatory and supports arrangements for up to two living areas when fitted. Avionics are installed as Gulfstream PlaneView280™, supporting the aircraft’s mission systems and typical corporate or charter navigation and communications requirements. With a cruise of 460 kts and a range of 3,600 nm, typical missions include medium-to-long range corporate transport, repositioning flights, and higher-utilization ferry or charter legs operated from its US base.

The Gulfstream G280 occupies a performance niche as a super-midsize, fixed-wing multi-engine business jet offering transcontinental range and high cruise speed. Competing in markets that value speed, range, and cabin flexibility, this airframe’s certification for 21 seats positions it uniquely for transport duties as well as potential conversion to executive layouts. Maintenance and resale considerations for this 2016 airframe reflect standard Gulfstream support characteristics and the presence of Honeywell HTF7250G engines; the listed value of $16,000,000 informs lifecycle cost and remarketing expectations for corporate owners and lenders.
