N280GU

This entry covers Gulfstream airframe N280GU, a Gulfstream G280 built in 2016 with serial number 2002. The aircraft is registered in the United States and held by TVPX AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS INC TRUSTEE, a corporate owner based in North Salt Lake, UT, US, reflecting a corporate trust ownership structure rather than a private individual. The registry lists a certification for 21 seats, though typical executive G280 interiors are commonly configured for far fewer passengers; the listed market value for this specific airframe is $16,500,000. No public record of notable incidents or major registry actions is included in the supplied data.

The cabin of N280GU is described as capable of up to two living areas with a forward galley and an aft lavatory, supporting typical executive layouts up to ten seats while the registry certification lists 21 seats. The aircraft is equipped with Gulfstream’s integrated avionics suite, the Gulfstream PlaneView280™, which supports modern flight management, navigation, and situational awareness functions appropriate to long-range business jet operations. With a cruise speed of 458 kts and a range of 3,600 nm, operational missions for this airframe commonly encompass transcontinental and near-oceanic point-to-point business travel; routine basing is implied by the owner location in North Salt Lake, UT, US. Maintenance considerations follow turbofan twin practices for Honeywell HTF series engines and Gulfstream airframe support programs.

The Gulfstream G280 sits in the super-midsize performance niche, offering a combination of high cruise speed, transcontinental range, and a high service ceiling of 45,000 ft. Competitors in this segment typically include other super-midsize and large-cabin business jets that target corporate and charter operators seeking long-range, high-speed capability. Buyer and charter demand for individual G280 airframes is influenced by equipped avionics like the PlaneView280™, interior layouts, and maintenance status; resale and ownership transfer considerations often hinge on engine program enrollment, completed maintenance records, and the specific interior configuration versus the registry certification of 21 seats.
