N659FX

This airframe, registered as N659FX, is a Gulfstream G650ER built by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation in 2013 and bearing serial number 6017. The aircraft is owned by Flexjet LLC, a corporation based in Cleveland, OH, and is registry-marked in the US. Acquired into the Flexjet fleet as a corporate-operated, fractional ownership asset, the airframe has been operated under Flexjet’s standards with typical registry activity confined to operator transfers and routine status filings; valuation and detailed condition reports are Not published.

Configured to support up to 22 seats, this specific G650ER is used by Flexjet for long-range business and high-end charter missions, enabling non-stop transoceanic routes consistent with the type’s 7,500 nm capability and typical cruise of 488 knots. The airframe carries the Rockwell Collins/Collins Pro Line pedigree avionics fit known as PlaneView II, which supports advanced flight-deck automation and long-range operational planning. Based out of Cleveland by operator ownership, missions commonly include transcontinental and transatlantic flights, with cabin layout and interior appliances configured to fractional ownership standards that emphasize flexibility, multiple seating zones and in-flight communications. Maintenance considerations on this airframe reflect the BR725 engine support network and the G650ER’s higher-cycle inspection intervals typical of heavy-usage fractional assets.

The Gulfstream G650ER occupies a top-tier ultra-long-range business jet niche, offering extended transoceanic range and high cruise speed relative to competitors. Competing models include other ultra-long-range types from Bombardier and Dassault, though the G650ER’s blend of 7,500 nm range and 51,000 ft ceiling targets buyers seeking speed and altitude performance. For fractional and corporate operators like Flexjet LLC, market demand centers on availability for premium international missions; resale and maintenance considerations often hinge on engine shop visit history for the Rolls-Royce BR725 A1-12 pair and documented avionics upgrades such as the PlaneView II fit.
