N678GA

This airframe, registered as N678GA, is a 2015-built Gulfstream G650 (GVI), serial number 6178. The aircraft is owned by ABP AVIATION II LLC, a corporate registrant based in Encinitas, CA, US, and appears on U.S. civil registers under that corporate ownership. The registry entry records a 22-seat configuration even though typical VIP outfittings for this airframe are smaller; no public record of further ownership transfers or notable registry actions beyond corporate registration is provided. Operator and home base activity is consistent with a U.S.-registered corporate Gulfstream, with the listed owner’s Encinitas location serving as the administrative address.

The airframe is outfitted in a flexible executive VIP cabin configuration with forward and aft lavatory arrangements and selectable forward or aft galley installations; the registry lists 22 seats while typical VIP layouts for this model are usually configured for 12–18 passengers. Avionics are installed as Gulfstream PlaneView II, supporting the G650’s long-range, high-speed mission profile and advanced flight-deck integration. Operational use for this individual G650 is likely focused on long-range corporate transport and executive shuttle missions given its 7,000 nm range and high cruise speed; flight profiles commonly include transcontinental and intercontinental routes. Maintenance and amenity considerations for this airframe follow Gulfstream G650 norms, including oversight of BR725 engine maintenance cycles and cabin reconfiguration options aligned to VIP operator preferences.

The Gulfstream G650 (GVI) occupies the ultra-long-range, high-speed large-cabin business jet segment, offering transoceanic capability and competitive cruise speeds. It competes with other ultra-long-range types in private and corporate markets where range and cabin comfort are prioritized. Demand for used G650s tends to favor well-maintained, low-cycle examples with proven maintenance records and flexible VIP cabins; resale considerations for this serial include the impact of its corporate registration, recorded seating count, and the lifecycle condition of BR725 engines and PlaneView II avionics.
