N209GA

This entry covers airframe N209GA, a Gulfstream G280 with manufacturer serial number 2309. The aircraft was completed by IAI Ltd for Gulfstream Aerospace and is recorded as owned by Gulfstream Aerospace LLC, a corporation based in Savannah, GA, US. Registered in the US, the airframe retains factory-standard configuration and avionics, and there are no publicly listed registry actions or transfers beyond corporate ownership in the supplied data. Its builder relationship—Gulfstream Aerospace contracting IAI Ltd for production—is a notable part of this specific airframe’s provenance.

The cabin of N209GA accommodates up to 10 passengers in a typical executive layout with provisions for up to two living areas, a forward galley and an aft vacuum lavatory, supporting mixed mission profiles from corporate shuttle flights to longer executive transcontinental sectors. The airframe is equipped with the Gulfstream PlaneView280 avionics suite, aligning cockpit systems and human-machine interface with the model’s performance and operational envelope. Operated from its owner’s base in Savannah, GA, the G280 on this registration is suited to medium to long-range point-to-point missions, regularly exploiting its 3,600 nm range and high cruise speed for efficient nonstop operations and charter-type deployments. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow standard type-specific practices, with factory-built pedigree and OEM support channels noted through Gulfstream and Honeywell for engines and avionics.

As a member of the Gulfstream G280 family, N209GA exemplifies the twin-engine super-midsize category, balancing transcontinental range with high cruise speed and a relatively high service ceiling of 45,000 ft. Competing models in this niche include other super-midsize business jets offering similar payload-range combinations; demand from corporate flight departments and charter operators remains focused on cabin flexibility and operational efficiency, both present in this airframe’s configuration. Resale and maintenance considerations typically reflect the strong OEM support chain—Gulfstream for airframe and Honeywell for the HTF7250G engines—which can influence lifecycle value even when specific valuation data is not published.
