N259FG

This entry covers airframe N259FG, a Gulfstream G280 manufactured under the IAI LTD (Gulfstream G280 program) and completed in 2012 with serial number 2015. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by the corporation BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, a recorded ownership that indicates corporate trust ownership rather than an individual operator. FAA registry entries list the aircraft with a 21-seat configuration, a detail that contrasts with manufacturer typical executive layouts and has been noted in registry summaries. No public record in the provided data indicates changes of operator or notable incident history for this specific airframe.

The cabin for N259FG is documented as capable of accommodating two living areas, while manufacturer literature cites a typical executive layout of up to ten seats; the FAA registry, however, records 21 seats for this airframe, indicating a higher-density or alternate interior installation on file. Avionics are reported as Gulfstream PlaneView280™, the factory-integrated flight deck suite supporting modern flight-management and situational-awareness functions used in mixed corporate and charter operations. Typical missions for a G280 with the listed performance—3,600 nm range and 459 kts cruise—include transcontinental and medium-range international hops; operation from an owner trust based in Salt Lake City, UT suggests frequent west-coast and central-U.S. positioning. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would align with Honeywell HTF7250G engine support and Gulfstream avionics pathway upgrades customary for the model lifecycle.

The Gulfstream G280 sits in the super-midsize business jet category, offering a balance of transcontinental range and high cruise speed for its class. With twin Honeywell HTF7250G engines producing 7,624 lbf each and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, the model competes with other super-midsize types for corporate owners and fractional/charter operators seeking long-range city-pair performance. Buyer and charter demand for G280s emphasizes cabin flexibility—executive layouts to higher-density configurations as evidenced by N259FG—and lifecycle maintenance factors such as engine program enrollments and avionics modernization paths for the PlaneView280™ suite influence resale considerations.
