The airframe’s 22-seat capacity indicates a high-density cabin layout for the G-IV(SP) platform, suitable for government transport, official delegations, or mission-centric passenger movements. Specific avionics fit and internal cabin finish for this individual aircraft are not published; typical mission profiles for the owner would include medium- to long-range trips consistent with a 3,600 nm capability and cruise at about 460 kts.

The Gulfstream G-IV(SP) occupies a mature large-cabin, long-range business and government transport niche, offering transcontinental capability with a 45,000 ft service ceiling and cruise speeds near 460 kts. With a 1994 build year, this airframe sits in the used market segment where buyer and charter demand focuses on mission suitability, maintenance history, and avionics modernization. Competing models typically include other late-model large-cabin jets offering similar range; resale and maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft will hinge on the documented engine program status for the twin Rolls-Royce Tay 611-8 powerplants and any avionics or interior upgrades completed since manufacture.
