N818CA

The airframe bearing tail number N818CA is a 2021-built example of the Gulfstream GVII-G500 family, serial 72078, manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. The certificate and ownership records show this airframe is owned by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE (a corporation) and is associated with Salt Lake City, UT, US; it is entered on the US registry. The current registration and trust ownership structure indicate institutional ownership rather than individual or airline operation. The airframe’s contemporary valuation in transactional and registry summaries is approximately $49,500,000, and operational records classify it as a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet configured for executive use.

This specific Gulfstream GVII-G500 is fitted with an operator-configured executive cabin layout; registry and operational records indicate a nine-seat configuration for this airframe, though the model supports up to 19 seats in other fits. Avionics are specified as the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck, providing the flight crew with advanced flight controls, integrated displays, and autothrottle capability consistent with Gulfstream’s latest flight-deck architecture. Typical missions for this configuration would center on long-range corporate transport and executive travel between continental and intercontinental city pairs enabled by the 5,300 nm range, with operations likely staged from or managed through the owner’s Salt Lake City association. Maintenance considerations for this unit follow PW814GA engine program requirements and Gulfstream OEM scheduled maintenance intervals; institutional ownership suggests centralized upkeep under trustee oversight.

The Gulfstream GVII-G500 occupies the high-performance large-cabin business-jet niche, offering transcontinental range and high cruise altitudes up to 51,000 ft, placing it in competition with other ultra-long-range and large-cabin types. With twin PW814GA engines producing 15,144 lbf each, the platform targets buyers and charter operators seeking a blend of speed, range, and cabin comfort. Demand in the secondary market favors well-maintained, low-time, and operator-configured examples; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe will hinge on documented maintenance, ownership structure under BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, and adherence to Gulfstream-supported service programs.
