N596GA

This airframe, registered as N596GA, is a 2024 build of the Gulfstream GVII‑G500 (Gulfstream G500) with serial number 72196. The aircraft is retained in corporate ownership by Gulfstream Aerospace Corp and is operated from the manufacturer's base in Savannah, GA, US under US registration. Notable registry actions are limited to its factory delivery and corporate retention; the airframe appears to be in current production-condition configuration. Manufacturer valuation and market records list the airframe value at $48,500,000, reflecting a new-build, factory-owned GVII‑G500.

The cabin of N596GA is available in custom executive layouts; the manufacturer lists seating up to 19 with typical outfitting between 13–16 passengers, and this airframe is configured to support executive transport missions. Avionics are the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck™, providing advanced pilot interfaces, integrated flight controls and enhanced situational awareness for long-range point-to-point operations. Typical mission profiles for this GVII‑G500 include transcontinental and intercontinental executive travel within the aircraft’s 5,300 nm range and at cruise speeds near 488 kts, operating routinely to flight levels approaching 51,000 ft. As a factory‑owned airframe, maintenance and support are managed through Gulfstream’s in‑house programs and approved facilities.

The Gulfstream GVII‑G500 occupies the high‑performance large‑cabin business jet niche, offering transcontinental range, high cruise speed and a 51,000 ft service ceiling that appeal to corporate and charter buyers. Competing models in its market segment include other long‑range large‑cabin types that balance range and speed; demand is driven by buyers seeking manufacturer support and modern avionics like the Symmetry Flight Deck. Retention by the manufacturer, as with N596GA, simplifies maintenance and reduces early resale variables, while the listed value of $48,500,000 reflects new‑build pricing and current market positioning.
