Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N888KZ is a Gulfstream GV‑SP (G550) built in 2010 with serial number 5309. The aircraft is owned by KZ PARTNERS INC, a corporation registered in Dover, DE, US, and carries a US registration; public records do not list multiple prior operators or a complex ownership timeline. The installation and configuration conform to Gulfstream production standards for the GV‑SP series, and the airframe’s market valuation is listed at $16,900,000, reflecting its age, serial progression and typical condition expectations for a 2010 large‑cabin business jet. No additional registry actions or notable incidents are published in the supplied data set.
The cabin for this airframe is described in the context of Gulfstream G550 executive layouts, with typical installations seating 14–20 passengers in an executive configuration; the specific N888KZ interior layout is not publicly listed, though forward galley and forward/aft lavatories are typical for G550 interiors. Avionics are listed as Gulfstream PlaneView, commonly the Honeywell Primus Epic with LASEREF V options, consistent with long‑range operational capability. Given the aircraft’s 6,750 nm range and 459 kts cruise speed, typical mission profiles for this airframe include long‑haul corporate transport and intercontinental point‑to‑point flights operated from the owner’s base region around Dover, DE. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe are guided by the GV‑SP platform systems and the two Rolls‑Royce BR710 engines specified for N888KZ.
As a Gulfstream GV‑SP (G550) airframe, this aircraft sits in the long‑range, large‑cabin performance niche defined by the supplied range, cruise and service ceiling numbers. The combination of a 51,000 ft ceiling and 6,750 nm range positions the type for transcontinental and transoceanic missions under typical corporate executive and charter operations. From a resale and maintenance perspective, factors tied to the 2010 build year, serial 5309, and the listed $16,900,000 value will influence market demand and lifecycle costs, with buyer interest typically reflecting avionics fit, engine maintenance history and interior configuration—elements partially documented for N888KZ in the supplied data.
