N280QA

The airframe bearing tail number N280QA is a Gulfstream G280 built by IAI LTD in 2014, with serial number 2047. Ownership is held by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporate owner based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and the aircraft is registered in the US. The airframe's documented history reflects corporate ownership rather than individual civilian or fractional operation, and its configuration and paperwork align with a trust-held asset used for executive transport or corporate flight departments.

This specific G280 is fitted in an executive layout consistent with Gulfstream's typical VIP outfitting: a forward galley, one to two living areas, and an aft lavatory, with up to ten standard passenger seats in a typical VIP fit while the type-certificate maximum is 21 seats. Avionics are installed as Gulfstream PlaneView280™, supporting modern flight management and safety systems used for corporate cross-border and transcontinental missions. Operated under corporate ownership from Salt Lake City, the airframe is suitable for medium- to long-range point-to-point missions within its 3,600 nm capability and at cruise speeds around 459 kts. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would follow manufacturer schedules for the Honeywell HTF7250G engines and Gulfstream structural inspections appropriate to a 2014-build corporate jet.

The Gulfstream G280 occupies the super-midsize twin market niche, offering long range, high cruise speeds, and a 45,000 ft service ceiling that appeal to corporate and charter buyers. Competitors include other super-midsize business jets with similar range and cabin flexibility; demand tends to favor well-equipped VIP examples and corporate trust ownership like BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE can simplify transfer and tax considerations. Resale and maintenance profiles hinge on engine cycle counts, avionics configurations such as PlaneView280™, and the documented history of corporate maintenance performed on this specific serial 2047 airframe.
