Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N550AL, is a 2013 Gulfstream GV‑SP (G550) with serial number 5443. The aircraft is owned by Abbott Laboratories Inc of Waukegan, Illinois, United States, and appears on the U.S. civil register in corporate ownership. The registry entry records a corporate executive configuration and lists 20 seats; typical outfitting for the model is noted at 14–18 passengers. The hull and equipment valuation is recorded at $18,800,000, reflecting its corporate configuration and 2013 build year.

The cabin of this specific airframe is fitted in a corporate executive layout and the registry lists 20 seats, while typical outfitting for the type ranges from 14 to 18 passengers; the configuration supports executive transport, long‑range transcontinental and intercontinental missions. Avionics are Gulfstream PlaneView with a Honeywell‑based installation, providing modern flightdeck functionality and systems integration for long‑range business operations. Operated from a U.S. corporate base, the aircraft’s twin Rolls‑Royce BR710 engines and high‑altitude capability to 51,000 ft afford efficient cruise at 488 kts over ferry and executive mission profiles. Maintenance and operational planning for this airframe align with corporate operator practices and the G550’s established inspection and overhaul cycles.

The Gulfstream GV‑SP (G550) occupies a long‑range large‑cabin business jet niche, offering transcontinental and intercontinental capability with a 6,750 nm range and high‑altitude performance. Competing models in this segment include other ultra‑long‑range platforms from Gulfstream and rival manufacturers; demand typically comes from corporations and charter operators seeking high speed, range and cabin comfort. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2013 G550 with corporate outfitting and Honeywell‑based PlaneView avionics include engine and APU status, structural inspections, and avionics currency, all factors that influence market value near the recorded $18,800,000.
