Model & Market Context
The airframe, registered as N72LN, is a 2020-built Gulfstream GVII-G500 with manufacturer serial number 72053. The aircraft is owned by PFP FLIGHT HOLDINGS LLC, a corporate owner based in Waltham, MA, US, and is registered in the US. Its factory configuration and recent valuation place the airframe at an estimated $48,500,000, reflecting a modern large-cabin business jet in current operational condition. The aircraft’s documented history shows standard corporate ownership without public record of multiple transfers or notable registry disputes.
The airframe is completed in a 9-place executive layout offering either a forward or aft galley option, with provisions for forward and aft lavatories and panoramic oval windows as noted in the type description. Avionics are fitted with the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck™, supporting advanced flight envelope protection, enhanced situational awareness and crew workload reduction on long-range missions. Typical operations for this specific G500 include transcontinental and intercontinental corporate missions up to its 5,300 nm range, operated from the owner’s base in Waltham, MA for both owner-flown and professional flight department use. Maintenance considerations align with factory-recommended schedules for Pratt & Whitney Canada PW814GA engines and Gulfstream supplemental inspection programs; corporate ownership suggests adherence to OEM heavy-visit and avionics upgrade pathways.
The Gulfstream GVII-G500 family occupies the high-performance large-cabin business jet niche, offering long-range capability, high cruise speed and a 51,000 ft service ceiling. Competing models typically include large-cabin types from Bombardier and Dassault, where buyers prioritize speed, cabin comfort and integrated flight deck capabilities. Market demand for a 2020 G500 like N72LN is driven by charter and fractional operators as well as corporate flight departments; resale considerations include engine cycle life of the PW814GA units, completeness of avionics updates, and adherence to Gulfstream maintenance programs, all of which materially affect valuation and liquidity.
