N551AV

This airframe, registered as N551AV, is a 2017-built Gulfstream GV-SP (G550) with serial number 5569. The aircraft is owned by TFB AVIATION LLC, a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US, and is registered in the United States. The airframe carries a clean modern executive specification and is valued at approximately $28,000,000 in current market assessments. Maintenance and registry data indicate standard corporate operation from a U.S. operator base without publicly noted incident history.

The cabin is fitted in a typical four-zone executive layout that is operator-configurable and commonly arranged for 14–20 seats; this airframe is listed with a maximum seating arrangement of 20. Avionics are the Gulfstream PlaneView suite, supporting long-range corporate and charter missions with advanced flight management, communication and situational awareness capabilities. Typical operations for this configuration include intercontinental nonstop routing within the aircraft’s 6,750 nm range—often transoceanic point-to-point executive transport at cruise speeds near 459 kts and cruise altitudes up to 51,000 ft. Operator-maintenance considerations align with Gulfstream’s established maintenance programs for the GV-SP/G550 family, emphasizing engine shop visits for the BR700 series and calendar-based cabin systems checks.

The Gulfstream GV-SP (G550) family occupies the long-range large-cabin executive market niche, prized for transcontinental and intercontinental performance with high cruise speed and a 51,000 ft service ceiling. Primary competitors include other long-range business jets offering similar range and cabin size; buyer and charter demand remains steady for late-model, well-maintained G550s. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on BR700 engine maintenance cycles, avionics updates for PlaneView systems, and the aircraft’s 2017 vintage and $28,000,000 valuation when positioning against newer or slightly older market alternatives.
