N280HX

This entry covers airframe N280HX, a 2015 Gulfstream G280 built as serial 2087 in a collaboration between Israel Aerospace Industries and Gulfstream Aerospace. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by G280 LLC, an LLC based in Chamblee, GA, US, which acts as the operator/home base for this airframe. The FAA certification for this serial lists a 21-seat configuration, while its typical executive outfitting is for fewer passengers; registry records indicate U.S. registration without public notes of subsequent ownership transfers. The airframe’s manufacturer pedigree and Honeywell-family engines are notable for maintenance and resale considerations.

The cabin of N280HX is described as an executive layout typically accommodating 8–10 passengers while the FAA certification lists 21 seats, indicating flexibility between airline-style seating and corporate executive fitments. Avionics aboard are the Gulfstream PlaneView280 suite, supporting modern flight management and crew situational awareness consistent with the model. Based in Chamblee, GA, US under ownership of G280 LLC, the aircraft is well-suited to long-range business missions, transcontinental flights, and high-altitude cruise profiles enabled by its 45,000 ft ceiling and 3,600 nm range. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on Honeywell-family HTF7250G engine support and factory partnership logistics from Israel Aerospace Industries and Gulfstream.

The Gulfstream G280 occupies the super-midsize business jet niche, combining high cruise speed (458 kts) and long range (3,600 nm) for owners seeking transcontinental capability without the size of ultra-long-range types. Competing models in its class address similar missions, and demand spans owner-operators, charter operators, and fractional fleets. For resale and maintenance, the G280’s Honeywell-family engines and PlaneView280 avionics are important factors; airframe N280HX’s 2015 build year and manufacturer partnership history are relevant to service records and market valuation.
