Model & Market Context
This airframe, tail number N297BA, is a Gulfstream G280 built in 2022 by IAI LTD (Israel Aerospace Industries) and carries manufacturer serial 2237. It is registered in the US and is owned by Bank of America, N.A., a corporation based in Charlotte, NC, US. The airframe is certificated up to 21 seats and presents as a late-build example of the G280 family; current market valuation is listed at $20,750,000, reflecting recent production standards and low airframe age.
The cabin of this specific G280 follows a typical 8–10-place executive layout while being certificated for up to 21 seats, featuring a forward galley and an aft lavatory and configurable to provide up to two living areas. Its avionics suite is the factory-fit PlaneView280™, supporting modern flight-deck functionality and mission flexibility. With a published range of 3,600 nm and cruise speed near 459 kts, the airframe is suited to long domestic and transcontinental missions operated from its owner’s base in Charlotte, NC, US. The twin Honeywell HTF7250G engines and recent build year imply front-loaded maintenance schedules typical for newer business jets and standard Honeywell support paths.
As a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet, the Gulfstream G280 represented by N297BA occupies a mid-to-long-range performance niche, offering a high cruise speed and a 45,000 ft service ceiling for efficient point-to-point transport. Factory avionics (PlaneView280™) and the certificated up-to-21-seat flexibility enhance appeal for corporate fleet operations and charter applications. The airframe’s late build year (2022) and manufacturer pedigree (IAI LTD) are positive factors for maintenance planning and resale considerations, while the listed value of $20,750,000 frames expectations for depreciation and replacement-cycle economics.
