Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N1640 is a 2019-built Gulfstream G280, serial number 2189, manufactured by IAI Ltd / Gulfstream Aerospace. The registry shows the aircraft is owned by COX AVIATION LLC, a corporation based in Atlanta, GA, US, with US registration and a reported market value of $21,500,000. No public record of multiple ownership transfers is included in the supplied data; current operator and home-base operations are associated with the Atlanta-based corporate owner. The airframe’s condition indicators include modern avionics and a 2019 build year, supporting its valuation in the late-model super-midsize category.
Registry data lists 21 seats for this specific airframe; however, typical executive outfittings for the model are 8–10 passenger executive layouts with a forward galley and an aft lavatory, indicating this airframe may be configured for higher-density or mixed-use missions. The installed avionics suite is Gulfstream PlaneView280™, supporting modern flight-deck capabilities and common regional and corporate operational profiles. With a 3,600 nm range and a 470-knot cruise speed, the aircraft is well suited for medium- to long-range point-to-point executive transport, charter missions, or corporate shuttle duties from its Atlanta base. Maintenance considerations align with twin-engine turbofan schedules for the AS907 family and typical Gulfstream scheduled inspections; specific logbook or inspection status is not published in the provided data.
The IAI Ltd Gulfstream G280 occupies the super-midsize twin market niche, offering a balance of transcontinental range, high cruise speed, and a 45,000 ft service ceiling. Competing types in this segment typically include late-model business jets offering similar range and cabin size; buyer and charter demand tends to favor late-build examples like this 2019 airframe for reduced near-term heavy maintenance and higher residual values. Resale and maintenance considerations center on engine program participation for the AS907-2-1G engines, avionics commonality with Gulfstream systems such as PlaneView280™, and the configuration flexibility between executive and high-density seating evident in the registry entry.
