The Gulfstream GV-SP (G550) occupies a performance niche defined by long-range capability and high cruise speed, with this airframe’s 6,750 nm range and 460 kts cruise matching that role. Competitors in the same market segment are other large-cabin, long-range business jets; buyer and charter demand for late-model, well-equipped G550s tends to emphasize cabin flexibility and avionics pedigree, both present on this airframe. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific serial (5499) and engine type focus on lifecycle support for Rolls-Royce BR710 engines and the value impact of the PlaneView avionics fit; the aircraft’s recorded valuation of $22,950,000 positions it in the market for corporate buyers seeking a long-range Gulfstream with contemporary systems.
