N840GA

This entry covers airframe N840GA, a Gulfstream GVIII-G800 with serial number 88040. Build year: Not published. The aircraft is owned by Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. (a corporation based in Savannah, GA, US) and carries a United States registration (US). Notable registry actions: Not published. Valuation is listed at $72,500,000, reflecting manufacturer ownership and a configuration maintained in a factory certification/test layout.

The aircraft is recorded in a manufacturer certification/test configuration with a cabin listed as 9 seats, although the model is configurable up to 19 seats and up to four living areas for broader mission flexibility. Avionics are fitted with the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck, supporting advanced flight-envelope protection, synthetic vision, and integrated flight management as standard for the type. Typical mission profiles for this airframe when operated by the manufacturer or as a demonstrator include ultra-long-range business transport and validation flights across transoceanic routes within an 8,200 nm range capability; the aircraft’s certification/test role suggests frequent high-utilization cycles and concentrated maintenance by factory personnel. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe align with in-house OEM support given the owner/operator status in Savannah.

The GVIII-G800 is positioned in the ultra-long-range, large-cabin business-jet niche, offering transcontinental and intercontinental performance with a maximum certified ceiling of 51,000 ft. Competing models occupy similar long-range segments and include offerings from other OEMs that target twin-engine efficiency and cabin comfort; buyer and charter demand typically prioritizes range, cabin flexibility, and advanced avionics such as the Gulfstream Symmetry Flight Deck. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are influenced by factory ownership, detailed OEM maintenance records, and the aircraft’s high list valuation of $72,500,000.
