N318LE

This entry covers airframe N318LE, a 2021-built Gulfstream GVII‑G600 with serial number 73052. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by BANC OF AMERICA LEASING & CAPITAL LLC, a corporate lessor based in Providence, RI, US. The airframe is configured for Part‑135/charter operations and has been listed in US civil registers under the cited registration; ownership is that of a corporate lessor rather than an operator/operator-based entity. No separate operator or home base is published beyond the lessor’s corporate location.

The cabin of N318LE is fitted for charter/Part‑135 use and is reported to accommodate up to 15 passengers depending on the operator configuration; internal layout and luxury fitment therefore vary with lessee/operator choices. Avionics are specified as the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck (Symmetry Flight Deck™), supporting modern flight-management, synthetic vision, and integrated safety systems common to the GVII family. Typical mission profiles for this airframe leverage its long-range capability—up to 6,600 nm—for transcontinental and transoceanic charters where high cruise altitudes and fuel efficiency are prioritized; routine operations will reflect Part‑135 maintenance scheduling and leaseholder-directed dispatch. As a corporate-owned asset, maintenance tracking and scheduling are generally managed to lessor standards until placed with an operator.

The Gulfstream GVII‑G600, represented here by N318LE, occupies the ultra-long-range large-cabin business-jet niche with a high cruise ceiling of 51,000 ft and transoceanic range performance around 6,600 nm. Competing models in the segment include other ultra‑long‑range types from Bombardier and Dassault; demand from charter operators and corporate lessors has focused on fuel-efficient engines such as the Pratt & Whitney PW815GA and advanced cockpit suites like the Symmetry Flight Deck™. Resale and leasing considerations for this 2021 serial highlight the benefits of a modern avionics fit and current engine type, while Part‑135 configurations and lessor ownership can influence depreciation profiles and remarketing pathways.
