N228BA

This airframe, registered as N228BA, is a 2016-build Gulfstream G280 manufactured by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) with serial number 2103. The airframe is listed as owned by an unnamed corporate entity (owner name not published; type='corporation'), and is registered in the US. There are no publicly recorded changes of individual ownership or notable registry actions beyond corporate ownership; no named operator or home base has been published. The airframe’s market valuation is reported at $18,000,000, reflecting a late-model mid-size business jet in executive configuration.

The installed cabin for this specific airframe is an executive eight-passenger layout with a forward four-place club and an aft four-place club; an 8 pax executive fit reported. Avionics fit includes the factory Gulfstream PlaneView280™ suite, with outfitted examples reported to have optional HUD and Enhanced Vision System (EVS) and FANS 1/A and datalink options. Typical missions for this configuration prioritize long-range corporate travel and transcontinental U.S. hops within the 3,600 nm capability, operating to and from smaller business airports while leveraging the 45,000 ft service ceiling for optimal efficiency. Maintenance considerations align with mid-life inspections for a 2016 airframe and corporate operation patterns; specific maintenance history and operator base are not published.

The Gulfstream G280 occupies the mid-size, super-midsize niche, offering transcontinental range and higher cruise altitudes for business and charter operators. Competitors in its class include other super-midsize business jets that target corporate charter and owner-operator buyers; demand typically favors late-model, well-equipped examples with EVS/HUD and datalink options. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect a 2016 serial (2103) with corporate ownership—buyers will prioritize avionics fits and completed maintenance records when valuing the reported $18,000,000 aircraft.
