Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N487JL, is a 2010-built Gulfstream GV‑SP (G550) with serial number 5301. The aircraft is owned by ZEPHYR LEASING LLC, a corporation based in Dover, DE, US, and is registered in the US registry. Registered to ZEPHYR LEASING LLC and held as a corporate-leased asset, the airframe's condition and valuation have been assessed at approximately $20,000,000, reflecting its age, avionics fit and Rolls‑Royce BR700 propulsion.

The airframe features an executive flat‑floor cabin configured for the GV‑SP/G550 family, supporting typical 14–20 passenger executive layouts; this specific example lists 20 seats and would commonly include a forward galley, two living areas and an enclosed lavatory depending on fit. Avionics are fitted with Gulfstream PlaneView, supporting long‑range, high‑altitude IFR operations and advanced flight management for transoceanic routings. With a maximum certified ceiling of 51,000 ft and long‑range capability of 6,750 nm, missions for this aircraft typically include intercontinental corporate travel and gap‑filling charter work; the corporate owner based in Dover, DE suggests US‑centric operations with frequent international capability. Maintenance considerations center on the BR700‑710 turbofans and their scheduled shop visits, as well as avionics support for the PlaneView suite.

The Gulfstream GV‑SP (G550) occupies a long‑range business jet niche, balancing high cruise speed (488 kts) and extended range (6,750 nm) for intercontinental missions. In the market it competes with other long‑range business jets, where buyer and charter demand prioritize range, cabin comfort and proven avionics like PlaneView. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2010 airframe include engine shop visit cycles for the BR700 family and the remaining service life of high‑value avionics, both factors reflected in the stated valuation of $20,000,000.
