N318LS

This airframe, registered as N318LS, is a 2016-built Gulfstream G650ER (GVI) with manufacturer serial number 6204. The airframe is manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation and carries a US registration while being owned by TAG Aviation Asia, a Hong Kong-based corporation. Public records indicate the type is a fixed-wing multi-engine executive transport configured and maintained to long-range standards; valuation estimates place the airframe at approximately $60,000,000. Registry actions for this specific tail show a US registration status alongside corporate ownership based in Hong Kong, reflecting an international ownership footprint and typical cross-jurisdiction administration for a modern ultra-long-range business jet.

The airframe is fitted with a large three-zone executive cabin and is typically laid out for 12–22 passengers depending on operator choices, including a forward galley and an optional crew rest arrangement. Avionics are supplied in the Gulfstream Vision/PlaneView family and this example is noted with Gulfstream PlaneView II equipment, with Block and ASC option fits varying by individual airframe. Mission profiles for this G650ER generally emphasize ultra-long-range point-to-point executive transport, capable of transoceanic flights up to its published range while operating at high cruise speeds and altitudes. Operator support and maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft center on Rolls-Royce BR725 engine care and Gulfstream’s avionics/airframe support infrastructure, reflecting common lifecycle considerations for high-utilization long-range business jets.

The Gulfstream G650ER (GVI) occupies the upper tier of the ultra-long-range large-cabin business jet market, offering a combination of extended intercontinental range and high cruise speed. Competing models in this performance niche typically include other long-range large-cabin platforms; buyer and charter demand for G650ER airframes tends to focus on operators requiring nonstop global capability and premium cabin amenities. Maintenance and resale considerations for this serial, given its 2016 build year and factory equipment, will weigh engine program status, avionics option maturity (PlaneView II configuration), cabin refurbishment cycles, and the aircraft’s international ownership/registration structure.
