The airframe is recorded as owned by Z MAGIC CARPET LLC, a corporation based in Peachtree City, GA, US, which serves as the primary operator/home base for this specific aircraft. Registry and operational records for this airframe indicate continued corporate ownership rather than individual private ownership. Maintenance, valuation, and specific recent registry transactions are not published in the supplied data.

The cabin for N455Z is outfitted in a 13‑passenger executive layout with an aft full‑service galley reported, reflecting a configuration optimized for corporate transport and long-range mission comfort. Avionics and connectivity equipment listed for this airframe include a Collins suite equipped with FANS 1/A+ and CPDLC, a Collins Venue cabin management system (per broker listing), and reported ATG‑4000 Wi‑Fi, supporting both long overwater operations and modern in-flight communications. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft type and fit include transcontinental and intercontinental point-to-point executive transport within the aircraft’s 4,220 nm range and at cruise speeds near 459 kts, operating from the owner’s base in Peachtree City, GA to domestic and international business destinations. Reported features such as the aft full‑service galley and the CMS support multi-leg flights with full cabin service and business-class amenities.

The Gulfstream G‑IV SP family occupies the large-cabin, long-range corporate jet niche, offering long-range capability and high cruise speed relative to many smaller business jets. Competitors in this segment include other large-cabin long-range types from Bombardier and Dassault; buyers and charterers value the G‑IV series for proven range and cabin comfort. From a maintenance and resale perspective, systems such as the Collins FANS 1/A+ CPDLC avionics and installed connectivity can enhance operational capability and appeal on the secondary market, while airframe age (built 1994) and cycle/maintenance history would be primary factors in valuation.
