N728EC

This airframe, registered as N728EC, is a Gulfstream GV-SP (G550) built in 2013 with manufacturer serial number 5439. It is owned by CHOUEST AIR INC, a corporation based in Cut Off, LA, US, and is registered in the US registry. The airframe is configured and maintained to executive standards and carries an estimated market value of $22,000,000; operational condition highlights include its contemporary avionics suite and completion-specific interior tailored for 14–20 passengers.

The cabin is completed to a typical executive layout, completion-specific interior, and is configurable between 14 and 20 passengers with a forward galley and selectable forward and aft lavatory options. Avionics are supplied as a Honeywell Primus Epic / Gulfstream PlaneView installation, supporting long-range, high-altitude operations and modern flight-deck situational awareness. Operated by CHOUEST AIR INC from its home base in Cut Off, Louisiana, the aircraft is suited to intercontinental business missions and long-range charter legs within its 6,750 nm capability at cruise speeds near 459 kts and flight levels up to 51,000 ft. Maintenance considerations reflect the twin Rolls‑Royce BR700-series powerplants, which carry established support programs and typical BR710 inspection and shop visit cycles.

The Gulfstream GV‑SP (G550) occupies a long‑range, large‑cabin niche within the heavy corporate jet segment, offering transoceanic range and high‑altitude cruise performance. Competing models in mission and market include other ultra‑long‑range business jets; buyer and charter demand typically favors airframes with modern avionics suites like the PlaneView/Primus Epic fit found on this aircraft. Resale and maintenance considerations emphasize engine shop visit status for the BR700‑710C4‑11 pair and the impact of the completion-specific interior on marketability, with value factors influenced by the 2013 build year, serial 5439, and documented US registration as N728EC.
