N55AL

This entry documents the specific airframe bearing tail number N55AL, a Gulfstream G280 built by IAI Ltd in 2013 with manufacturer's serial number 2037. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by KRT LLC, a corporation based in Greenwich, CT, US. The airframe’s recorded valuation is $14,000,000, and its registry and ownership are notable for being held by a Connecticut-based corporate operator. Registered in the United States under the tail N55AL and operated from the owner’s home base in Greenwich, CT, as recorded in the current ownership data.

The cabin of this airframe is noted for Typical executive 8–10 place layouts with a forward galley, configurable mid or forward conference area, and an aft lavatory; the type certification also allows up to 21 transport seats. Avionics are fitted with Gulfstream PlaneView280™ (PlaneView280) including autothrottle and provisions for optional EFVS/Synthetic Vision, supporting precision RNAV and regional jet-like operational capability. Operated from the owner’s Connecticut base, the aircraft’s 3,600 nm range and 459 kt cruise speed suit transcontinental missions and high-frequency corporate shuttle use. Maintenance considerations reflect the twin Honeywell HTF7250G turbofan installation and standard Gulfstream line and heavy-check cycles applicable to a 2013-build G280.

The Gulfstream G280 occupies the super-midsize twin market niche with transcontinental range, high cruise speed and a 45,000 ft service ceiling, targeting buyers seeking a blend of performance and cabin flexibility. Competitors typically include other super-midsize business jets offering similar range and speed; demand is driven by corporate and charter operators valuing cabin comfort and efficient point-to-point economics. Resale and maintenance considerations center on engine support for the Honeywell HTF7250G pair, avionics configuration such as PlaneView280 with autothrottle and optional EFVS/Synthetic Vision, and airframe condition consistent with a 2013 serial 2037 example.
