N855A

The airframe registered as N855A is a 2014-build Gulfstream G280 serial number 2044, manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace. The aircraft is owned by STONEX GROUP INC, a corporation based in Kansas City, MO, US, and is registered in the US. Records note an interior refurbishment in 2017 per broker listing and a reported certified seat count of 21 in some registry entries alongside its typical executive VIP outfitting; valuation estimates list the airframe at $14,150,000. Operational basing and routine movements tie to the owner’s corporate footprint in Kansas City, with registry and broker listings documenting the refurbishment and fitted avionics.

The unit carries an executive VIP cabin layout typically outfitted for 8–10 passengers, though certification records for this airframe report 21 seats in some entries; the interior was refurbished in 2017 according to a broker listing. Avionics are installed as Gulfstream PlaneView280™ with reported features on specific outfitting including HUD II and EVS. Typical mission profiles for this airframe under corporate operation include domestic and transcontinental business travel within the aircraft’s 3,600 nm range and high-speed cruise capability of 459 kts, operating from the owner’s Kansas City base. Maintenance records and broker notes highlight the 2017 cabin refurbishment as a recent major interior work package relevant to comfort and resale, while engine and avionics configurations follow Gulfstream factory standards for the G280.

The Gulfstream G280 occupies the super-midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental range near 3,600 nm, high cruise speeds and a 45,000 ft service ceiling. It competes against other twin-engine super-midsize types where buyers prioritize speed, cabin comfort, and runway performance; typical comparisons include late-model offerings from Bombardier and Dassault in similar mission bands. Demand in the corporate and charter markets favors well-maintained, recently refurbished airframes; the reported 2017 interior refresh and PlaneView280™ avionics suite are positive factors for resale and charterability. Maintenance and resale considerations for this specific airframe center on engine time on the Honeywell HTF7250G pair and the completeness of logbooks tied to the STONEX GROUP INC ownership.
