N281CE

This airframe, registered as N281CE, is a 2022 Gulfstream G280 with serial number 2243. The aircraft is owned and operated by the corporation CUMMINS INC, based in Columbus, IN, US, and is registered in the US registry. Delivered new in 2022 and entered on the U.S. registry to CUMMINS INC, the airframe presents as a recent-production example of Gulfstream's super-midsize twin. Documented valuation for this specific airframe is $24,500,000, reflecting its modern configuration and limited calendar age.

The cabin of this specific G280 is equipped in a typical executive layout featuring a forward galley, flexible 8–10 passenger seating options, and an aft lavatory with baggage area; the configuration is suited to corporate transport and business missions. Avionics are fitted with Gulfstream’s integrated PlaneView280 suite, supporting the aircraft’s high-speed, long-range cruise and modern avionics-centric maintenance tracking. Operated by CUMMINS INC from its Columbus, Indiana base, the aircraft will typically serve transcontinental and regional missions within its 3,600 nm range profile, balancing speed and payload. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with Honeywell HTF7250G engine support and OEM Gulfstream scheduled inspections given its new-build status.

The Gulfstream G280 occupies the super-midsize twin category with a blend of long-range capability and high cruise speed, positioning it against competitors in the same class. Its 459 kt cruise and 45,000 ft ceiling make it attractive for corporate operators seeking efficient cross-country transit without stepping into larger heavy-jet operating costs. Demand in the owner/operator and charter markets favors late-build examples like this 2022 airframe, which command stronger resale valuations and simplified maintenance status due to remaining warranty support and modern avionics such as PlaneView280.
