N342ZK

This entry covers business jet airframe N342ZK, a 2015-built Gulfstream G650 with manufacturer serial number 6135. The aircraft is owned by TVPX AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS INC TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in North Salt Lake, UT, US, and is registered in the US registry. Registry records note a 22-seat configuration despite the aircraft being fitted in a large-cabin executive layout typically arranged as a 13-place VIP fit. The airframe is valued at $68,000,000, reflecting its late-model G650 specification and large-cabin interior appointments.

The cabin for this serial is described as a large-cabin executive layout capable of a typical 13-place VIP arrangement while the registry lists 22 seats; the fit includes forward and aft galleys and forward and aft lavatories, allowing up to three living zones. Avionics for this airframe are reported as Gulfstream PlaneView II or Honeywell Primus Epic equipment, supporting advanced flight-management, surveillance and long-range navigation tasks. Operational missions for N342ZK would commonly include transcontinental and intercontinental transport within the G650’s 7,000 nm range, frequently flown from the owner’s base in North Salt Lake, UT, US or on worldwide charter and corporate assignments. Maintenance considerations reflect the G650’s twin BR725 turbofan architecture and large-cabin systems, with lifecycle and inspection programmes driven by Rolls‑Royce engine requirements and Gulfstream airframe schedules.

The Gulfstream G650 family occupies the ultra-long-range, large-cabin business jet niche, offering high cruise speeds and transoceanic capability exemplified by this airframe’s 488 kt cruise and 7,000 nm range. Competing types include other ultra‑long‑range bizjets, but the G650’s cabin size, speed and service ceiling of 51,000 ft target operators seeking intercontinental non‑stop performance. Buyer and charter demand for late-model G650s remains strong, and resale values such as $68,000,000 are influenced by engine hours, cabin configuration (VIP vs. higher-seat layouts), and avionics fits like PlaneView II/Primus Epic when present. Maintenance and resale considerations for this specific serial include BR725 engine support and the large-cabin refurbishment potential tied to the aircraft’s 2015 build year.
