Model & Market Context
This entry documents the specific airframe bearing US registration N216GA, a 2025 build of the Gulfstream G280 with manufacturer serial number 2316. The aircraft is owned by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), a corporation based in Tel Aviv, Israel, and is recorded on US civil registers under its current registration. The airframe was produced by Gulfstream Aerospace under license and by Israel Aerospace Industries as part of the type’s licensed manufacturing arrangement. Valued at $25,000,000, the example presents contemporary specification and outfitting for high-end corporate transport.
The cabin of this G280 is configured in a typical VIP layout for 8–10 passengers, offering up to two living areas, a forward galley and an aft vacuum lavatory consistent with Gulfstream interior options. Avionics are fitted with PlaneView280™, providing integrated flight deck systems for modern situational awareness and performance management. Operated by its corporate owner, the airframe is suited to transcontinental and intercontinental missions within its 3,600 nm range and cruise speed of 458 kts, commonly employed for executive transport, corporate shuttle duties, and priority logistics. Maintenance considerations are aligned with twin Honeywell HTF7250G engine support and the manufacturer/licensed production pedigree, which may influence spare parts sourcing and down-route support.
The Gulfstream G280 occupies a performance niche as a super-midsize, high-speed business jet offering near-long-range capability with a 45,000 ft ceiling and efficient twin-engine operation. Competing models in its segment include aircraft offering similar range and cabin comfort; buyer and charter demand typically favor the G280 for its combination of speed, range and modern avionics such as PlaneView280™. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its 2025 build year, factory-authorized production lineage, and corporate ownership by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), which may affect documentation provenance and lifecycle support.
