Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N888NS, is a 2012-built Gulfstream G550 (GV‑SP) with serial number 5377. The aircraft is owned by Bank of Utah, Trustee, a corporate trustee entity based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and is registered in the US registry. Registered to Bank of Utah, Trustee in Salt Lake City, Utah, the airframe's corporate ownership and trustee registration are the most notable entries on its ownership timeline. Current valuation is listed at $46,500,000, reflecting its late-model GV‑SP configuration and completion-specific fitments.
The completion on this G550 follows a typical executive configuration advertised as a 14–19 passenger layout, with the airframe specifically outfitted to accommodate up to 20 listed seats depending on completion-specific seating and fitments. Avionics are from the Gulfstream PlaneView family with Honeywell Primus Epic integration, though final fitment is completion‑specific and may vary by operator configuration. Operational missions for this platform typically encompass long-range intercontinental executive transport—supported by the 6,750 nm range and 51,000 ft ceiling—with an operator or homing function tied to its corporate trustee owner in Salt Lake City. Maintenance considerations reflect the BR700/BR710 engine family common to the model and the completion-specific cabin systems that can drive aftermarket refurbishment costs.
The Gulfstream G550 (GV‑SP) family occupies a long‑range ultra‑long‑range business jet niche, valued for transcontinental and transoceanic capability enabled by its 6,750 nm range and high cruise altitudes. Competitors in this market include other long‑range large‑cabin business jets offering similar endurance and cabin amenities; buyer and charter demand typically favors late‑model, well‑maintained completions with modern avionics like PlaneView/Primus Epic. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe will hinge on completion condition, the BR700/BR710 engine life and maintenance history, and corporate/trust ownership transferability in the US registry.
