The airframe is recorded as owned by Wilmington Trust Co Trustee (a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US) and carries a United States registration.

The cabin for this registration is listed as an operator-configured executive layout with 9 seats; the GVIII-G800 type supports up to 19 seats and up to 4 living areas, allowing substantial interior customization. Avionics are fitted with the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck, supporting advanced flight management, safety features and crew workload reduction typical of Gulfstream long-range jets. With a maximum range of 8,200 nm and a service ceiling of 51,000 ft, this airframe is configured primarily for intercontinental executive transport and long-endurance point-to-point missions; the trustee ownership structure is consistent with corporate or fractional operation. Maintenance considerations follow manufacturer schedules for the Gulfstream GVIII series and the Rolls‑Royce Pearl 700 engine family; specific maintenance history for this serial is not published in the provided data.

The Gulfstream GVIII-G800 sits at the high end of ultra-long-range business jets, offering one of the longest ranges in its class and high-altitude performance to optimize long overwater and transcontinental routes. Competing models include other ultra-long-range types from Bombardier and Dassault. Buyer and charter demand for this class is driven by corporate flight departments, charter operators and high-net-worth individuals seeking maximum range and cabin flexibility; resale and maintenance considerations reflect the aircraft’s advanced avionics and the service network supporting Gulfstream and Rolls‑Royce powerplants.
