N721BS

This airframe, registered as N721BS, is a 2003-built Gulfstream G‑IV (G400) manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation with serial number 1516. The aircraft is owned by ARIA LLC, a corporation based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and is U.S.-registered (US). No notable registry actions have been published for this airframe; its market valuation is recorded at $5,800,000, reflecting age, configuration and typical G‑IV maintenance status.

The verified cabin is commonly fitted in a typical executive layout supporting 12–14 passengers, although the airframe is type-certified for higher seating counts to roughly 19 depending on configuration; the paperwork lists a seating capability of 22. Avionics are reported as Collins Pro Line 4, a common fitment across the G‑IV fleet with potential retrofit variations. Operated by ARIA LLC from its Salt Lake City base, the aircraft is suited to long domestic and transcontinental missions consistent with the G‑IV’s 4,220 nm range and 459‑knot cruise, often used for executive transport and long‑range corporate travel. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would follow G‑IV schedules for Tay‑powered examples, with periodic attention to older Pro Line 4 avionics retrofits.

The Gulfstream G‑IV (G400) occupies the large-cabin, long-range corporate jet niche, offering transcontinental capabilities and a 45,000 ft service ceiling that appeal to high-end corporate operators and charter brokers. Competing models in the class include earlier and later Gulfstream variants and long‑range offerings from Bombardier and Dassault; buyer demand tends to favor well‑maintained, low‑time G‑IV airframes with updated avionics. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2003 Tay‑powered example emphasize engine shop visits, structural inspections consistent with serial 1516 age, and potential Pro Line 4 avionics upgrade paths when evaluating marketability.
