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.

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.
