N331LD

This airframe, registered as N331LD, is a Gulfstream G280 built in 2012 with serial number 2010 by IAI Ltd / Gulfstream Aerospace. The aircraft is owned by SAGE MOON AIR LLC, based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and is operated from that home base under a US registration. Registry documentation highlights a discrepancy between a dealer listing and certified configuration—dealer listing shows a 9-passenger executive interior while registry-certified seating documents indicate 21 seats—and the airframe is valued at $12,995,000 in current records.

The listed cabin for this specific G280 on dealer materials describes a 9-passenger executive arrangement: forward double club, aft single club, and a three-place divan with a forward galley and aft vacuum lavatory; however, registry-certified seating records show 21 seats, indicating a potential multiple-configuration history or altered certification for commercial or high-density carriage. The aircraft is equipped with Gulfstream’s integrated avionics suite, PlaneView280, supporting modern flight-management and situational-awareness capabilities suited to long-range business missions. Typical operations for this airframe from its Salt Lake City base would include transcontinental and transborder charters consistent with the G280’s 3,600 nm range and high cruise speed, with maintenance considerations focused on the Honeywell HTF7250G engines and Gulfstream avionics lifecycle.

The Gulfstream G280 occupies the super-midsize business jet niche, offering high cruise speed, transcontinental range, and a 45,000 ft service ceiling that appeal to owners seeking point-to-point efficiency. In the market it competes with other super-midsize and large-cabin models, where buyer demand often hinges on interior configuration, avionics standards like PlaneView280, and engine program status for the HTF7250G. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe include reconciling interior certification versus dealer-fit layouts and the ongoing support and inspection requirements associated with Honeywell engines and Gulfstream airframe systems.
