N68AL

This airframe, registered as N68AL, is a Gulfstream IV-SP (G-IV) built in 1992 with serial number 1198. It is owned by Aircraft Engine Lease Finance Inc (a corporation based in Guaynabo, PR, US) and carries a US registration. The airframe appears in commercial listings with a broker presentation indicating an executive cabin fit, while the registry reflects a transport configuration; registered as transport-certified with 22 seats despite broker listing an 8-passenger VIP layout. Valuation entries list the airframe at $3,200,000, reflecting its age, equipment fit and market positioning.

The listed cabin for this specific aircraft is an 8-passenger VIP layout according to the broker presentation, but the registry lists 22 seats under a transport certificate, indicating a dual-record status between charter/broker marketing and official transport registration. The avionics suite specified in broker materials includes Sperry SPZ-8000 EFIS, Honeywell NZ-2000 FMS, and Collins comms, providing a mixed legacy avionics fit suitable for long-range corporate missions. With a maximum range of 4,220 nm and cruise of 460 kts, this airframe is typically employed on transcontinental or transoceanic corporate transport and lease missions originating from its owner/operator base in Guaynabo, PR, US. Maintenance considerations are influenced by the airframe’s 1992 manufacture date and the twin Rolls-Royce TAY 611-8 engines, which drive lifecycle and overhaul planning aligned with lease and charter use.

As a Gulfstream IV-SP (G-IV) airframe, this example occupies a long-range corporate transport niche defined by high cruise speed, high ceiling and intercontinental capability as demonstrated by its 4,220 nm range and 45,000 ft ceiling. The combination of an executive-grade broker-listed cabin and an official 22-seat transport certificate affects its market flexibility and potential valuation outcomes, as reflected in the $3,200,000 figure. Secondary-market considerations for this specific airframe include age-related maintenance on airframe and engines, avionics modernization potential given the listed Sperry/Honeywell/Collins fit, and lease/charter demand tied to operator location and certification status.
