N889KH

This entry covers Gulfstream G-V airframe N889KH, a 1998-built business jet with manufacturer serial number 540. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by the corporate entity INNOVA AVIATION LLC of Pasadena, CA, US; registry records and sales listings identify the aircraft value at approximately $9,800,000 in recent listings. The jet has been documented in sales and listing records showing typical executive-condition options and was reported in some publications with avionics fit described in active listings. Ownership and market visibility have centered on corporate use based in the U.S. West Coast, with registry actions reflecting corporate ownership transfers and listing activity.

The airframe is configured and registered with a reported FAA seating limitation of 20 seats, while sales and listing records for this serial reflect the common 12‑place executive fit with a forward galley and optional aft lavatory/shower; reports list executive layouts as ranging between 12–20 seats. Avionics installation for this specific airframe has been reported in some listings as the Honeywell SPZ‑8500, though similar G‑V airframes have been fitted with Primus Epic and Rockwell Collins PlaneView variants. Typical missions for this airframe include long‑range intercontinental corporate travel; its performance allows nonstop transoceanic routing and high‑altitude cruise. Maintenance and cabin amenity considerations noted in listings emphasize interior refurbishment options and the aft lav/shower option that affects range/weight planning and charter flexibility.

The Gulfstream G‑V family, of which N889KH is a member, occupies the ultra‑long‑range large-cabin performance niche with transoceanic capability and high cruise speed. Competing models include late‑generation Bombardier and Dassault long‑range business jets, while demand for well‑equipped G‑V airframes remains driven by corporate buyers and charter operators seeking range and cabin comfort. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 1998 airframe focus on engine and APU life, avionics upgrades (notably for cockpits reported with SPZ‑8500 or similar systems), and interior refurbishment to meet current charter or corporate standards.
