Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N281MW, is a 2020-build Gulfstream G280 with serial number 2209, manufactured by IAI Ltd (Gulfstream G280). The aircraft is owned by SCHWEITZER AIRCRAFT LEASING INC, a corporation based in Pullman, WA, US, and is registered in the US registry. Notable registry information includes a factory certification that allows up to ten principal passenger seats in common executive fit while the federal registry records the airframe as certificated for 21 seats, reflecting a difference between factory typical layout and current registry status. The airframe’s market valuation is listed at $17,750,000, consistent with late-model examples of this type and indicative of a relatively recent factory delivery and low structural/avionics obsolescence risk.
The subject airframe carries a typical executive cabin fit including a forward galley and an aft lavatory and, in larger configurations, provision for up to two living areas; the factory layout is certified for up to ten principal passengers but the registry shows 21 seats certificated. Avionics are the factory-installed Gulfstream PlaneView280™ suite, supporting the aircraft’s transcontinental and long-range mission profile. Operated from Pullman, WA by the corporate lessor, its most common roles would include corporate transport, leased charter operations, and repositioning flights across continental U.S. and transoceanic hops within its 3,600 nm range. Maintenance considerations align with Honeywell HTF-series engine support and Gulfstream avionics lifecycle programs typical for a 2020-build airframe.
The Gulfstream G280 occupies the super-midsize business jet niche, offering high cruise speeds and long-range capability relative to light and mid-size competitors. With two Honeywell HTF7250G engines rated at 7,624 lbf each and a 45,000 ft ceiling, it competes with similarly sized types for owner-operators and charter fleets prioritizing speed, cabin comfort, and transcontinental range. Demand in the pre-owned market favors late-build, well-equipped examples like this 2020 serial 2209, though resale value and maintenance cycles remain influenced by engine shop visit schedules, avionics upgrade paths, and any differences between factory seating configuration and registry certification.
