Model & Market Context
This entry covers airframe N257A, a Gulfstream GV‑SP (G550) built in 2018 with manufacturer serial number 5571. The aircraft is registered in the United States and held in corporate ownership by TVPX ARS INC TRUSTEE, a corporation based in North Salt Lake, UT, US. Recorded as a U.S.-registered corporate Gulfstream since delivery, the airframe’s contemporary valuation is listed at $26,000,000, reflecting its late-model build, long-range capability and executive completion. Operational basing and operator activity are tied to the owner’s corporate address in North Salt Lake, Utah, with standard registry status under the U.S. flag.
The airframe is outfitted in a typical executive Gulfstream cabin layout providing three to four living areas and a flexible seating plan accommodating 14–20 passengers, with this specific registration noted as a 20‑seat configuration option. The cabin fit includes a forward galley and forward and aft lavatory options, supporting long‑range corporate missions such as transcontinental and intercontinental city‑pair routes that leverage the aircraft’s 6,750 nm range and high‑altitude cruise capability to reduce trip times. Avionics are the factory‑standard Gulfstream PlaneView suite (Honeywell Primus Epic / PlaneView), delivering modern flight deck integration and situational awareness for crew operations. Routine maintenance considerations for this airframe follow Gulfstream and Rolls‑Royce schedules appropriate to a late‑model GV‑SP, with corporate operation patterns emphasizing dispatch reliability and interior refurbishment cycles.
As a Gulfstream GV‑SP (G550) airframe, N257A sits in the long‑range large‑cabin executive jet niche, prized for intercontinental range, high cruise speed and wide cabin flexibility. Typical competitors include other ultra‑long‑range business jets offering similar transoceanic capability; buyer and charter demand historically favors late‑model, well‑maintained GVs for corporate and fractional use. Resale considerations for this 2018 serial 5571 emphasize service history, engine cycles on the Rolls‑Royce BR700‑710C4‑11 pair, and interior condition given the aircraft’s premium valuation at $26,000,000.
