Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N308EL, is a 2020-build Gulfstream G500 (GVII-G500) with serial number 72052. It is owned and operated by Eli Lilly and Company, a corporation based in Indianapolis, IN, and has remained in corporate executive service since delivery. The airframe carries a United States registration (US) and is recorded with a market valuation of $38,750,000. No public record of major registry transfers or changes in operational role has been reported for this tail number since manufacture.
The cabin of N308EL is configured as a nine-seat executive layout reflecting its corporate executive fit with amenities and furnishings suited to business travel. The flight deck is equipped with the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck, featuring active control sidesticks and multiple touch-screen displays, supporting modern crew ergonomics and avionics integration. Operated from a corporate base in Indianapolis, IN, the aircraft is typically employed on long-range point-to-point missions consistent with its 5,300 nm range and high cruise speed, enabling transcontinental and transoceanic corporate travel. Given the manufacturer fit and corporate operator, maintenance and upkeep are consistent with factory support expectations for Gulfstream executives and intensive business-use cycles.
The airframe is a member of the Gulfstream G500 family, positioned in the large-cabin, long-range business jet market niche, combining high cruise speed and a 51,000 ft service ceiling. Competitors in its performance bracket typically include other ultra-modern large-cabin types offering comparable range and speed; buyer demand for such configurations remains strong among corporate operators seeking transcontinental capability. Maintenance and resale considerations for this specific airframe reflect its relatively recent 2020 manufacture, factory-spec avionics with active sidesticks, and continued corporate operation, factors that tend to support residual value near the stated $38,750,000 estimate.
