Model & Market Context
This airframe, tail number N285AF, is a 2018 Gulfstream G280 built by IAI Ltd (Israel Aerospace Industries), serial 2155. The jet is owned by the corporation AFLAC INC, based in Columbus, GA, US, and is registered in the US; its operator/home base is listed with the owner’s location. The aircraft’s registry reflects a relatively recent build year and corporate ownership, with an assessed market value of $24,500,000 indicating a late-model condition and typical valuation for the type. Maintenance, operational use and any notable registry transfers beyond corporate ownership are not published in the supplied data.
The airframe is delivered with a configurable executive cabin; the typical Gulfstream G280 executive layout seats 10, though this particular airframe may be configured for higher seat counts up to 21 in alternate layouts. Avionics standard to the G280 line are implied though not explicitly listed in the provided data; missions for this airframe would commonly include medium- to long-range corporate travel across domestic and transcontinental sectors consistent with a 3,600 nm range and 459 kts cruise speed. Based at the owner’s corporate location in Columbus, GA, US, the aircraft is suited to executive shuttle operations, business travel and on-demand charter where permitted by corporate policy. No unique interior amenities or specific maintenance history for this serial are published in the supplied dataset.
The Gulfstream G280 occupies the super-midsize twinjet niche, offering transcontinental capability, high cruise speed and a 45,000 ft service ceiling suitable for efficient, long-range corporate operations. Competing aircraft in this performance band typically include other super-midsize business jets; buyer and charter demand tends to favor late-model examples like this 2018 airframe with a clear corporate owner. Resale and maintenance considerations for this type center on engine program enrollment for the Honeywell HTF7250G, overall airframe hours and interior configuration flexibility—factors that influence the assessed value of $24,500,000 for this specific serial.
