Model & Market Context
This entry covers airframe N559G, a Gulfstream-built business jet delivered in 2003 with serial number 5012. The aircraft is a Gulfstream G550 (GV‑SP) manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace and is registered in the US. Ownership is recorded to GLEN ALBA INVESTMENTS INC TRUSTEE (a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US); no other ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published in the provided data. The airframe is valued at $14,695,000, with condition and configuration details reflecting a 20-seat executive interior and comprehensive avionics fit.
The cabin of N559G is configured in an executive 20-place layout featuring a forward galley and a forward FAR 135 certified crew rest area; reports describe the floorplan as forward galley / forward crew rest. Avionics are supplied by Honeywell PlaneView (Primus Epic / PlaneView) with options for HUD, EVS and SVS, supporting both low-visibility operations and enhanced situational awareness. Typical missions for this airframe type and configuration include long-range corporate transport and transcontinental or intercontinental charter flights consistent with the 6,750 nm range and high cruise speed; specific operator base beyond the registered owner’s location in Wilmington, DE, US is not published. Maintenance considerations reflect the dual BR700 engines and advanced avionics suite as principal items for scheduled overhaul and system upgrades.
As a member of the Gulfstream G550 (GV‑SP) family, N559G sits in the long-range, large-cabin business jet niche, offering transoceanic capability and high cruise performance relative to mid-size jets. Competing models typically include other long-range offerings from Gulfstream and Bombardier; buyer and charter demand for well-equipped G550s often centers on reliability of the BR700 powerplants and the presence of modern avionics like PlaneView. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe include lifecycle events for the BR700 engines, potential avionics refreshes, and the impact of a 20-seat executive configuration on charter flexibility and marketability.
